Introduction
This manual describes and directs repair procedures for this vehicle model year. It includes diagnostics for all
vehicle systems except driveability and emission control. Refer to the separate Powertrain Control/Emissions
Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual for driveability and emission control diagnostics.
Information is organized into groups, with sections that have subsections dividing them.
Warnings provide information to avoid personal injury and to make sure service actions on critical safety
systems are performed correctly.
Warnings that apply to an entire system or workshop manual section are located in section 100-00 Description
and Operation Safety Warnings .
Warnings, Notices, or Notes that apply to an entire procedure will be placed at the beginning of the procedure.
Warnings, Notices, or Notes that apply to a single step are placed at the beginning of the step. Those that
apply to a group of steps will be placed at the first step requiring it.
LH and RH vehicle designations are oriented from the driver's seat position looking forward. LH and RH
engine designations are oriented from the flywheel position looking towards the crankshaft pulley.
Module DTC Charts are used to begin and direct the diagnosis of a DTC. Symptom Charts contain concern
symptoms and direct solutions either in the chart or in a linked Diagnostic Routine. Both DTC and Symptom
Charts may provide the solution within the chart, or provide a link to the appropriate Diagnostic Routine.
In some sections, the Symptom Chart is preceded by a Preliminary Inspection which must be followed prior to
using the Symptom Chart
This Workshop Manual contains diagnostics for DTCs set by vehicle modules. Driveability and emission
DTCs are covered in the separate Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual. If a PCM-set
DTC is not listed in the Workshop Manual, it is serviced in the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis
(PC/ED) manual.
DTC diagnostics are found in both on-line and printed publications and are used as follows:
On-line publications: Using the left side menu, click on the Master DTC Chart link to view the
vehicle module DTC charts. Each module has a chart with links or in-chart solutions for all DTCs
diagnosed in the Workshop Manual.
Printed publications: Use the DTC index in the rear of the book.
Diagnostic Methods
Diagnostic Methods provides information to support diagnosing Ford vehicles. Diagnostic strategies,
diagnostic tool support information, and advanced circuit testing methods are included. REFER to Diagnostic
Methods .
Diagnostic Routines
Diagnostic Routines provide information to determine the root cause of concerns addressed in either a DTC
Chart or Symptom Chart. Each Diagnostic Routine contains:
Diagnostic Overview
Wiring Diagram References (as applicable)
Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks
Tool Table (as applicable)
Material Table (as applicable)
Pinpoint Test Steps
Component Tests
Component Tests are used to separately analyze a single common component in a system. The test will
determine if the part is functioning correctly.
The following is a list of assumptions made in the reuse of fasteners, seals, or gaskets.
Graphics
Illustrations in this manual may be used to replace written step instructions. Color-coding (see color scheme in
this document) is used to communicate the required step action or actions. Service action icons (see Symbols
Glossary ) are used to add additional information regarding the required action.
The color scheme in a step graphic (an illustration used in removal or installation steps) indicates
servicing information as follows:
Fasteners (including panel retainers) or electrical connectors - Magenta (Purple)
Target component that is to be removed - Blue
Components that must be removed prior to the target component shown in blue - Brown or
Green
Components placed aside for access, but not removed; highlighted areas such as inspection
areas, adjustments or measurements - Yellow
Essential Special Service Tools (ESSTs) and other tools - Pale Blue
Chemical or Sealer apply areas - Alternating blue and white dashes (see illustration 4)
Sectioned or cut-away areas - Red
Remaining components - Grey
Callouts in graphics indicate removal (or tightening) order, or identify individual instructions in substeps of
the same number (such as different torque values).
Arrows containing x numbers (Illustration 2) indicate the number of identical fasteners or connectors to be
removed or installed in the graphic.
In Illustration 2, two identical fasteners are indicated by the x2 arrow, with another arrow illustrating a third
fastener of a different type. Because the different fasteners require different torques, callouts are used to
identify those two torque values in the associated step text. The hose clamp is another fastener to be removed.
The yellow coloring of the hose indicates it is to be moved aside (not removed).
The following written steps would be necessary if the illustration did not have color coding:
2. Remove the two engine oil pipe fasteners from the turbocharger and remove the pipe.
3. Remove the air inlet hose from the turbocharger and position aside.
Illustration 2
Hidden fasteners, such as panel retainers, are identified in the illustration by a magenta disc. An inset detail
view illustrating the fastener type may be included (Illustration 3).

Diagnostic Methods
The following diagnostic process is critical for consistently successful diagnoses. Random methods work
inconsistently and often lead to multiple repairs and the accompanying frustration.
Network Test
Performing a network test is always recommended for analysis of electronic system concerns. Always solve
network issues before addressing individual symptoms or DTCs.
Recommended Practice: REFER to Symptom Chart in Section 418-00 to diagnose a network outage or no
response from an individual module (or modules).
DTC Retrieval
Generally, a good diagnostic strategy is to resolve all on-demand codes related to the system concern.
Retrieving all continuous DTCs can also be beneficial to understand historic issues or issues outside of the
suspect system that may be affecting your concern. On-demand testing should be done to ensure the fault
represented by a continuous DTC is still present.
Modules that produce diagnostic trouble codes have a program that evaluates system conditions, normally
while the vehicle or system is in use. Module inputs can be checked for values indicating an electrical fault
with the monitoring circuit or component. Module outputs can be monitored for correct function. Codes are
stored when predefined limits are exceeded and retained even if the ignition is turned off (generally
DTC-retention is for 40+ ignition cycles). Not all continuous codes have a matching on-demand code - and
vice versa; this varies with different modules. For example, some network communication codes are
continuous only. It is important to note that the presence of a continuous DTC does not guarantee that the
fault currently exists.
Diagnostic Methods 35
2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
Ford On-Demand DTCs
Ford Motor Company modules have a unique feature that performs a special diagnostic program at the request
of the technician (using a scan tool). This "On-demand" diagnostic program can exercise system outputs not
normally running when the car is parked and record observed faults. These diagnostic codes are
communicated to the scan tool; they are not recorded in module memory. An on-demand test is an effective
tool for evaluating real input and output conditions during module activity - activity that might not normally
be occurring during service bay conditions. For example, an air suspension module on-demand test can run
the compressor, vent the system, and observe the report from the height sensor even when the car is already at
correct trim height and not requiring height adjustment.
Network DTCs (U-prefix codes) are often a result of intermittent concerns such as damaged wiring or low
battery voltage occurrences. Additionally, vehicle repair procedures (such as module reprogramming or
diagnostics with modules disconnected) often set network DTCs. Replacing a module to resolve a network
DTC is unlikely to resolve the concern. To prevent recurrence of intermittent network concerns, inspect all
network wiring, especially in-line and module connectors; test the vehicle battery.
Recommended practice: Clear the DTC and retest. If the DTC repeats, test the vehicle communication
network.
Many modules use 5-character DTCs followed by a 2-character failure-type code. The failure-type
(sometimes called "fault byte") digits provide information about specific fault conditions such as opens or
shorts to ground. Continuous memory DTCs have an additional 2-character DTC status code suffix to assist in
determining DTC history.
If The IDS Scan Tool Does Not Communicate With The VCM
If The IDS Scan Tool Does Not Communicate With The Vehicle
The IDS scan tool first attempts to communicate with the PCM. After establishing communication with the
PCM, the scan tool then attempts to communicate with all other modules on the vehicle.

established with the PCM"):
Diagnostic Methods 36

Wiring Pin (Terminal) Fit And The Use Of Rotunda Flex Probes
To avoid wiring pin (terminal) damage, Rotunda Flex Probes NUD105-R025D or equivalent must be
used to connect test equipment or jumper wires to pins (terminals).
Male to female pin (terminal) fit is critical for correct connection and durability.
Pin (terminal) fit may be checked by using the mating pin (terminal) to test for normal
separation force (a damaged pin or terminal will have very low separation force from the
mating pin or terminal)
Correctly checking the separation force of small pins (terminals) may require removal of the
connector terminal guide/retainer if it adds drag to the pin (terminal) insertion or removal
Replace damaged connectors or pins (terminals).
Use the Wiring Diagram connector view (cell 150) to identify the correct replacement
connector with pigtail.
Use the Wire Harness Terminal Repair Guide to identify and order the correct replacement
pin and pigtail. Available through Ford Dealers, REFER to FMC dealer website, or REFER to
www.fcs.dealerconnection.com/wire .
Measuring a power wire with the intended load disconnected using a DMM will only find open
circuits (open fuse or wire).
Recommended practice: Circuits carrying approximately 200-1000 mA* may be loaded with the
specified test light SGT27000. Measure circuit voltage with a DMM while the test light is connected
and illuminated. A reduction in the voltage present during test-light-loading indicates excessive
circuit resistance.
Recommended practice: Circuits carrying more than one ampere* should be loaded with a device
requiring similar current (e.g., a headlamp bulb may be effective). A reduction in the voltage present
during loading indicates excessive resistance.
*Circuit current is matched to wire gauge/size; Examples:
Conductor sizes of 24 gauge (.5 mm) or smaller are generally used to carry approximately 1
ampere (1000 mA) or less. Use of the test light to load these circuits is appropriate.
Conductor sizes of 20 gauge (.8 mm) or larger are generally used to carry approximately 5
amperes (5000 mA) or more. Match the substitute load (measure substitute load current first
as necessary) to this current level.
The best method of checking ground circuits is to measure the circuit voltage drop during component
Diagnostic Methods 37
2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
operation (or attempted operation).
An ohmmeter may be accurately used if the battery has been disconnected.
Recommended practice: Expect less than 2 ohms for most small diameter (18 gauge and smaller)
wires.
Ohmmeter accuracy is limited to circuits carrying less than approximately 5 amperes (this is due to
the fact that very small resistances, undetectable by a DMM , cause significant voltage loss in higher
current circuits).
DMM ohmmeter readings are easily corrupted by the normal voltage present (battery connected) in
many ground circuits.
Recommended practice: Reverse the leads and check for changes in the measurement.
Reversing the DMM lead connections should never change the resistance measurement
(unless the circuit contains a semi-conductor). Measurement (non-semi-conductor)
differences when leads are interchanged at the test points indicate invalid test results. The
presence of voltage corrupts the reading, and causes the meter reading to change when the
leads are reversed.
Recommended practice: Expect less than 2 ohms of resistance for most wires.
Ohmmeter low-resistance resolution (approximately 0.1 ohm) limits its use to circuits carrying less
than approximately 5 amperes. This is due to the fact that very small resistances, below the resolution
of a DMM , cause significant voltage loss in higher current circuits.
The DMM applies a small amount of voltage to the circuit or component to calculate resistance. As a
result, DMM ohmmeters are very sensitive to any level of voltage present. Voltage present in the
circuit will corrupt the DMM reading.
Back-probing should be a testing method of last resort. It should only be employed where a diagnostic
step requires a circuit to be tested under actual operating conditions. Back-probing is a risky testing
method due to the uncertainty of the probe connection and the possibility of damaging terminals.
Do not force test leads or other probes into connectors. Adequate care must be exercised to avoid
connector terminal damage while ensuring that good electrical contact is made with the circuit or
terminal. Failure to follow these instructions may cause damage to wiring, terminals, or connectors
and subsequent electrical faults.
Use Rotunda Back-Probe Pins POMA6411 to assist in making a good test connection and to
prevent connector or terminal damage during back-probing.
Do not test for the presence of voltage at a single point where zero volts is a possible result (you
cannot tell the difference between a bad probe contact and a zero volt result).
Do not test for continuity/opens (using a DMM ohmmeter) between two points (you cannot tell the
difference between bad probe contacts and an open circuit).
Back-probing may be used where the circuit must be analyzed with the voltage-drop method (if the
circuit carries greater than 5 amperes and no other means of testing will definitively eliminate circuit
Diagnostic Methods 38
2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
resistance as a possible fault). A zero-volt result indicates incorrect test conditions (no current flow)
or bad back-probe connections.
Occasionally, module failure mode behavior will change the operation of a circuit when it is opened
for testing. Back-probing is an acceptable remedy for these testing dilemmas.
Checking Modules
Generally, module failure rate is very low and therefore replacement modules usually do not resolve
the root cause. Incorrect replacement of a module is often the result of inadequate testing.
Understand the correct module function.
Make sure programmable parameters are set correctly for the function in question (see the list
in Section 418-01 ).
Resolve DTCs first - as directed by Diagnostic Routines.
Test all inputs, both hard-wired and networked.
Test outputs (see "Checking module switching circuits" below).
Check applicable TSBs for module software changes (flash programming).
Checking module switching circuits.
Using the scan tool module-output command function (e.g., IDS Output State Control) to
activate components is a fast way to confirm an output is capable of being switched on by the
module. Testing that reveals normal module-output function confirms the need to analyze the
module inputs.
Don't apply ground or power directly to module-switched components with jumper wires
(unless directed by a workshop manual procedure), as the component can be damaged by a
direct connecon to ground/power.

SECTION 100-04: Noise, Vibration and Harshness 2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 08/12/2010
Noise is any undesirable sound, usually unpleasant in nature. Vibration is any motion, shaking or trembling,
that can be felt or seen when an object moves back and forth or up and down. Harshness is a ride quality issue
where the vehicle's response to the road transmits sharply to the customer. Harshness normally describes a
firmer than usual response from the suspension system. NVH is a term used to describe these conditions,
which result in varying degrees of dissatisfaction. Although a certain level of NVH caused by road and
environmental conditions is normal, this section is designed to aid in the diagnosis, testing and repair of NVH
symptoms.
Acceptable NVH
All internal combustion engines and drivelines produce some noise and vibration; operating in a real world
environment adds noise that is not subject to control. Vibration isolators, mufflers and dampers reduce these
to acceptable levels. A driver who is unfamiliar with a vehicle can think that some sounds are abnormal when
actually the sounds are normal for the vehicle type. As a technician, it is very important to be familiar with
vehicle features and know how they relate to NVH symptoms and their diagnosis. For example, if the vehicle
has automatic overdrive, it is important to test drive the vehicle both in and out of overdrive mode.
Glossary of Terms

Diagnostic Theory
Qualifying the symptom by the particular sensation present can help narrow down the cause. Always use the
"symptom" to "system" to "component" to "cause" diagnosis technique. This diagnostic method divides the
Remember that the vibrating source component (originator) may only generate a small vibration. This small
vibration can in turn cause a larger vibration/noise to emanate from another receiving component (reactor),
due to contact with other components (transfer path).
The diagnostic tools allow for a systematic collection of information that is necessary to accurately diagnose
and repair NVH problems. For the best results, carry out the test as follows:
a. Test drive the vehicle with the vibration sensor inside the vehicle.
b. Place the sensor in the vehicle according to feel.
If the condition is felt through the steering wheel, the source is most likely in the front of the
vehicle.
A vibration that is felt in the seat or floor only will most likely be found in the driveline, drive
axle or rear wheels and tires.
c. Record the readings. Also note when the condition begins, when it reaches maximum intensity and if
it tends to diminish above/below a certain speed.
Frequencies with an amplitude reading of 0.06 Gs or less are barely perceptible NVH levels.
No corrective action is necessary.
d. Place the vibration sensor on or near the suspect area outside the vehicle.
e. Continue the road test, driving the vehicle at the speed the symptom occurs, and take another reading.
f. Compare the readings.
A match in frequency indicates the problem component or area.
An unmatched test could indicate the symptom is caused by the engine, torque converter or
engine accessory. Use the diagnostic tools in the rpm mode and check if symptom is rpm
related.
The following diagnostic tools and techniques can be used separately or in conjunction with each other to aid
in the diagnosis of NVH symptoms. They are listed in order of preference for ease in their use for locating
these symptoms.
The MTS 4000 and the MTS 4100 NVH analyzers are tools to aid in the identification and isolation of a
noise, vibration or harshness symptom in a vehicle. They measure noise and vibration data and compare it
with data obtained from the vehicle's PCM as well as vehicle variants that were entered by the user such as
pulley size, axle ratio and tire size in order to provide possible sources. The MTS 4000 and the MTS 4100
have the following characteristics:
The MTS 4000 and the MTS 4100 NVH analyzers have 4 main operating modes. The first is for vibration
diagnosis. This mode measures data from 1 or 2 accelerometers simultaneously while obtaining data from the
vehicle. Then it carries out a frequency analysis on the accelerometer information and compares the vibration
frequencies with the frequencies associated with various rotating components within the vehicle. The data can
be presented in 4 different display modes: principle component, bar chart, frequency spectrum or waterfall.
All display mode formats contain the same common elements, such as amplitude.
The second is for noise diagnosis. This mode measures noise from 1 or 2 microphones simultaneously. All
noise measurements are in decibels (dBs). All frequency bands used for noise measurements are the same as
for the vibration measurements, up to 1,000 Hz.
The third is driveshaft balancing. Driveshaft balancing is done using 1 or 2 accelerometers and a
photo-tachometer. The accelerometers measure the vibration at both ends of the driveshaft, while the
photo-tachometer measures the rotation speed and position reference. Refer to Section 205-00 .
The fourth is the strobe. A strobe or standard timing light can be connected to an analyzer, to provide a means
for measuring rotation speed. The strobe function is used for isolating the source of a vibration.
The Electronic Vibration Analyzer (EVA) is a hand-held electronic scan tool which will assist in locating the
source of unacceptable vibrations. The vibration sensor can be remotely mounted anywhere in the vehicle for
testing purposes. The unit displays the 3 most common vibration frequencies and their corresponding
amplitudes simultaneously. A bar graph provides a visual reference of the relative signal strength (amplitude)
of each vibration being displayed and its relative G-force. The keypad is arranged to make the EVA simple to
program and use. Some of the functions include the ability to average readings as well as record, play back
and freeze readings. The EVA has a strobe balancing function that can be used to detect imbalance on rotating
components such as a driveshaft or engine accessories.

Vibrate Software
Vibrate Software (Rotunda tool number 215-00003) is a diagnostic aid which will assist in pinpointing the
source of unacceptable vibrations. The engine's crankshaft is the point of reference for vibration diagnosis.
Every rotating component will have an angular velocity that is faster, slower or the same as the engine's
crankshaft. Vibrate Software calculates the angular velocity of each component and graphically represents
these velocities on a computer screen and on a printed vibration worksheet. The following steps outline how
Vibrate Software helps diagnose a vibration symptom:
Enter the vehicle information. Vibrate will do all the calculations and display a graph showing tire,
driveshaft and engine vibrations.
Print a Vibration Worksheet graph. The printed graph is to be used during the road test.
Road test the vehicle at the speed where the vibration is most noticeable. Record the vibration
frequency rpm and the engine rpm on the worksheet graph. The point on the graph where the
vibration frequency rpm reading and the engine rpm reading intersect indicates the specific
component group causing the symptom.
A frequency measurement tool capable of measuring vibration frequency and engine rpm will
be needed.
Provides graphics of diagnostic procedures to aid in testing components.
Reed Tachometer
The Reed tachometer is a hand-held vibration sensor which will assist in locating the source of unacceptable
vibrations. The vibration sensor can be placed anywhere in the vehicle for testing purposes. The Reed
tachometer contains several reeds that are tuned to vibrate or resonate at different frequencies ranging from 10
to 80 Hz or 600 to 4800 rpm. Though the Reed tachometer is able to measure multiple frequencies, it does not
mre amplitude.
Sirometer
The Sirometer measures frequency in hertz and rpm. To use the Sirometer, place it on any vibrating
component and slowly scroll the wire out by turning the knob. As the length of wire changes, so does its
natural frequency. Find the length of wire that vibrates with the highest amplitude. This frequency will match
that of the vibrating component. Read the frequency for that length of wire.
Combination EngineEAR/ChassisEAR
An electronic listening device used to quickly identify noise and the location under the chassis while the
vehicle is being road tested. The ChassisEARs can identify the noise and location of damaged/worn wheel
bearings, constant velocity joints, brakes, springs, axle bearings or driveshaft carrier bearings.
An electronic listening device used to detect even the faintest noises. The EngineEARs can detect the noise of
damaged/worn bearings in generators, coolant pumps, A/C compressors and power steering pumps. They are
Vibrate Software 62
2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
also used to identify noisy lifters, exhaust manifold leaks, chipped gear teeth and for detecting wind noise.
The EngineEAR has a sensing tip, amplifier and headphones. The directional sensing tip is used to listen to
the various components. Point the sensing tip at the suspect component and adjust the volume with the
amplifier. Placing the tip in direct contact with a component will reveal structure-borne noise and vibrations,
generated by or passing through, the component. Various volume levels can reveal different sounds.
Mechanic's Stethoscope
A mechanic's stethoscope is an inexpensive tool for locating noises in engines and other moving parts. It can
be used to help diagnose piston slap, worn gears, faulty valves, coolant pump failure, damaged gaskets,
defective bearings and body squeaks.
The Squeak and Rattle Repair Kit (Rotunda tool number 164-R4900) contains lubricants and self-adhesive
materials that can be used to eliminate interior and exterior squeaks and rattles. The kit consists of the
following materials:
The Ultrasonic Leak Detector is used to detect wind noises caused by leaks and gaps in areas where there is
weatherstripping or other sealing material. It is also used to identify A/C leaks, vacuum leaks and evaporative
emission noises. The Ultrasonic Leak Detector includes a multi-directional transmitter (operating in the
ultrasonic range) and a hand-held detector. The transmitter is placed inside the vehicle. On the outside of the
vehicle, the hand-held detector is used to sweep the area of the suspected leak. As the source of the leak is
approached, a beeping sound is produced which increases in both speed and frequency.
To assist the service advisor and the technician, a Write-Up Job Aid used during the interview process is
included with this material. The Write-Up Job Aid serves as a place to record all important symptom
information.
1: Customer Interview
The diagnostic process starts with the customer interview. The service advisor must obtain as much
information as possible about the symptom and take a test drive with the customer. There are many ways a
customer will describe NVH symptoms and this will help minimize confusion arising from descriptive
language differences. It is important that the symptom is correctly interpreted and the customer descriptions
are recorded. During the interview, complete the Write-Up Job Aid and ask the following questions:
Use the information gained from the customer to accurately begin the diagnostic process.
2: Pre-Drive Check
It is important to do a pre-drive check before road testing the vehicle. A pre-drive check verifies that the
vehicle is relatively safe to drive and eliminates any obvious faults on the vehicle.
The pre-drive check consists of a brief visual inspection. During this brief inspection, take note of anything
that will compromise safety during the road test and make those repairs/adjustments before taking the vehicle
on the road.
Review the information recorded on the Write-Up Job Aid. It is important to know the specific
symptom the customer has with the vehicle.
Do not be misled by the reported location of the noise/vibration. The cause can actually be some
Verify the customer concern by carrying out a road test, an engine run-up test or both.
The decision to carry out a road test, an engine run-up test or both depends on the type of NVH symptom. A
road test may be necessary if the symptom relates to the suspension system or is sensitive to torque. A Drive
Engine Run-Up (DERU) or a Neutral Engine Run-Up (NERU) test identifies noises and vibrations relating to
engine and drivetrain rpm. Remember, a condition will not always be identifiable by carrying out these tests,
however, they will eliminate many possibilities if carried out correctly.
5: Road Test
NOTE: It may be necessary to have the customer ride along or drive the vehicle to point out the symptom.
During the road test, take into consideration the customer's driving habits and the driving conditions. The
customer's concern just may be an acceptable operating condition for that vehicle.
The following is a brief overview of each test in the order in which it appears. A review of this information
helps to quickly identify the most appropriate process necessary to make a successful diagnosis. After
reviewing this information, select and carry out the appropriate test(s), proceeding to the next step of this
process.
The Slow Acceleration Test is normally the first test to carry out when identifying an NVH symptom,
especially when a road test with the customer is not possible.
The Heavy Acceleration Test helps to determine if the symptom is torque-related.
The Neutral Coast Down Speed Test helps to determine if the symptom is vehicle speed-related.
The Downshift Speed Test helps to determine if the symptom is engine speed-related.
The Steering Input Test helps to determine how the wheel bearings and other suspension components
contribute to a vehicle speed-related symptom.
The Brake Test helps to identify vibrations or noise that are brake related.
The Road Test Over Bumps helps isolate a noise that occurs when driving over a rough or bumpy
surface.
The Engine Run-Up Tests consist of the Neutral Engine Run-Up (NERU) Test and the Drive Engine
Run-Up (DERU) Engine Test. These tests help to determine if the symptom is engine speed-related.
The Neutral Engine Run-Up (NERU) Test is used as a follow-up test to the Downshift Speed Test
when the symptom occurs at idle.
The Drive Engine Run-Up (DERU) Load Test helps to identify vibration/noise sensitive to engine
load or torque. It also helps to reproduce engine speed-related symptoms that cannot be duplicated
when carrying out the Neutral Engine Run-Up (NERU) Test or the Neutral Coast Down Test.
The Engine Accessory Test helps to locate faulty belts and accessories that cause engine speed-related
symptoms.
The Vehicle Cold Soak Procedure helps to identify symptoms occurring during initial start-up and
when an extended time lapse occurs between vehicle usage.
Slowly accelerate to the speed where the reported symptom occurs. Note the vehicle speed, the engine
rpm and, if possible, determine the vibration frequency.
Attempt to identify from what part of the vehicle the symptom is coming.
Attempt to identify the source of the symptom.
If the source of the symptom has been identified as a result of this test, proceed to the appropriate
section for further diagnosis and repair. If the source has not been identified, continue with the road
test.
Drive at a higher rate of speed than where the symptom occurred when carrying out the Slow
Acceleration Test.
Place the transmission in NEUTRAL and coast down past the speed where the symptom occurs.
The symptom is vehicle speed-related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
engine and the torque converter as sources.
If the symptom was not duplicated while carrying out this test, carry out the Downshift Speed Test to
verify if the symptom is engine speed related.
If the source of the symptom has been identified as a result of this test, proceed to the appropriate
section for further diagnosis and repair. If the source has not been identified, continue with the road
test.
Shift into a lower gear than the gear used when carrying out the Slow Acceleration Test.
Drive at the engine rpm where the symptom occurs.
The symptom is engine speed related if duplicated while carrying out this test. This eliminates the
tires, wheels, brakes and the suspension components as sources.
Drive at the speed where the symptom occurs, while making sweeping turns in both directions.
If the symptom goes away or gets worse, the wheel bearings, hubs, U-joints (contained in the axles of
Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) applications), and tire tread wear are all possible sources.
If the source of the symptom has been identified as a result of this test, proceed to the appropriate
section for further diagnosis and repair. If the source has not been identified, continue with the road
test.
Brake Test
With the brake released, accelerate the vehicle. While coasting (brake pedal released) to a stop in
NEUTRAL, note any abnormal rate of deceleration. Abnormal deceleration could indicate a parking
brake or service brake that is not fully releasing.
Warm the brakes by slowing the vehicle a few times from 80-32 km/h (50-20 mph) using light
braking applications.
Accelerate to 89-97 km/h (55-60 mph). Moderately apply the brakes and slow the vehicle to a stop.
A brake vibration can be felt in the steering wheel, seat or brake pedal. A brake noise can be heard
upon brake application and should diminish when the brake is released. For vehicles with separate
park brake shoes, noise or vibration from the parking brake system will not be affected by applying
the hydraulic brakes. On these systems, the parking brake system requires inspection if a parking
brake concern is suspected.
If the source of the symptom has been identified as a result of this test, proceed to the appropriate
brake section(s) for further diagnosis and repair. If the source has not been identified, continue with
the road test.
Drive the vehicle over a bump or rough surface one wheel at a time to determine if the noise is
coming from the front or the back and the left or the right side of the vehicle.
If the source of the symptom has been identified as a result of this test, proceed to the appropriate
section for further diagnosis and repair. If the source has not been identified, continue with the road
test.
Install a tachometer.
WARNING: Block all wheels, set the parking brake and firmly apply the service brake to reduce the
risk of vehicle movement during this procedure. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious personal injury.
NOTICE: Do not carry out the Engine Load Test for more than 5 seconds or damage to the
transmission or transaxle may result.
WARNING: Block all wheels, set the parking brake and firmly apply the service brake to reduce the
risk of vehicle movement during this procedure. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious personal injury.
NOTICE: Limit engine running time to one minute or less with belts removed or serious engine damage
will result.
NOTE: Use a frequency measurement tool to pinpoint accessory vibrations. A listening device, such as an
EngineEAR, will also help to identify noises from specific accessories.
If the vibration/noise was not duplicated when carrying out this test, install the accessory belt(s), one
at a time, to locate the source.
If the source of the symptom has been identified as a result of this test, proceed to the appropriate
section for further diagnosis and repair. If the source has not been identified, continue with the road
test.
Test preparations include matching customer conditions (if known). If not known, document the test
conditions: gear selection and engine rpm. Monitor the vibration/noise duration with a watch for up to
3 minutes.
Park the vehicle where testing will occur. The vehicle must remain at or below the symptom
temperature (if known) for 6-8 hours.
Before starting the engine, conduct a visual inspection under the hood.
Turn the key on, but do not start the engine. Listen for the fuel pump, ABS and air suspension system
noises.
Start the engine.
Isolate the vibration/noise by carefully listening. Move around the vehicle while listening to find the
general location of the vibration/noise. Then, search for a more precise location by using a
stethoscope or EngineEAR.
If the source of the symptom has been identified as a result of this test, proceed to the appropriate
section for further diagnosis and repair. If the source has not been identified, continue with the road
test.
For NVH concerns, it is necessary to classify the customer's concern into one of the 3 categories: noise,
vibration or harshness. The reason for this is that a customer concern may consist of a combination of
symptoms involving noise and vibration, or vibration and harshness. In cases where there are combination
symptoms, the technician will need to know which diagnostic path to follow: noise, vibration or harshness.
For example, if a customer has a concern involving a noise and a vibration, and it is determined that it is
vehicle speed-related, the vibration diagnostic path would be followed.
Noise Symptoms
Once a symptom is classified as a noise, the particular conditions under which the noise occurs need to be
identified. These conditions are identified and verified during the road test. For example, a noise may only
occur while turning. The next step is to determine which systems on the vehicle are related to that condition.
In this case, the steering system and wheel/tire system may be suspect. After identifying possible systems, a
preliminary inspection of these systems should be done. If the source of noise is still unidentified, use a
listening device (such as the ChassisEAR) to pinpoint the source. Once the source has been identified,
determine if this source is related to the suspected system previously identified. If it is related, then complete
the repair to resolve the customer concern. If it is unrelated, then it is possible that the source of the noise is a
reactor to a noise being transmitted through a transfer path. If this is the case, repairing the reactor will not
resolve the customer concern. The transfer path must be identified and a determination made if the noise is
normal, but accentuated by the transfer path (conductor), or if the originator is the fault causing excessive
noise to transfer to another component through a conductor. There is a relationship between systems identified
as related to conditions and the noise transfer path. In some cases, the condition under which the noise occurs
has nothing to do with the identified source. This relationship is important in the diagnosis of noise concerns.
Vibration Symptoms
Most vibrations consist of movements back and forth or up and down that repeat. Every time the vibrating
component goes through its complete range of motion and returns to the starting point is called a cycle. The
rate at which these cycles occur within a given time is called the frequency. Frequency is measured in cycles
per second or Hertz (Hz). One cycle per second equals one Hz. Once the frequency of a vibration is known,
calculations can be done to determine the system that is the source of the concern.
Order of Vibration
The order of a vibration refers to how often the vibration is present in one revolution of the component. For
example, a vibration that is present once each revolution of a component would be a first order vibration. A
vibration present twice each revolution of the component would be a second order vibration. Vibration orders
do not have to be whole numbers, they can have decimal values such as 1.5 order vibration or 3.08 order
vibration.
The concept of order of vibration is important to remember when the measured frequency of a vibration does
not seem to match the frequency calculations of any of the likely systems or components. As the order
increases, the frequency of the vibration will also increase by a multiple of that number.
For example, vibration may be present where the frequency is measured at 14 Hz. After doing the necessary
calculations it is determined the first order tire and wheel frequency is 7 Hz and the first order driveshaft
frequency is 22 Hz. Based on this information it can be determined the vibration is most likely a second order
tire and wheel vibration: 7 Hz (first order tire and wheel frequency) multiplied by 2 (second order) equals 14
Hz (second order tire and wheel frequency).
After carrying out the road test as described in this section, the vibration was determined to be either
vehicle-speed related or engine-speed related. That determination will identify the vibration frequency
calculations that should be done.
Use the Frequency and RPM Calculations Worksheet to calculate system/component frequencies. The
worksheet provides the necessary steps to determine each system/component group frequency.
Frequency Calculations
For a vibration concern, use the vehicle speed to determine tire/wheel frequency and rpm. Calculate tire and
wheel rpm and frequency by carrying out the following:
Tire Diameter Tire RPM/Hz Tire RPM/Hz Tire RPM/Hz Tire RPM/Hz
mm (in) @ 16 km/h (10 mph) @ 80 km/h (50 mph) @ 97 km/h (60 mph) @ 113 km/h
(70 mph)
483 (19) 182 910/15 1,092/18 1,274/21
508 (20) 173 865/14 1,038/17 1,211/20
533 (21) 165 825/14 990/16 1,155/19
560 (22) 158 790/13 948/16 1,106/18
585 (23) 151 755/13 906/15 1,057/18
610 (24) 145 725/12 870/14 1,015/17
635 (25) 139 695/12 834/14 973/16
660 (26) 134 670/11 804/13 938/16
Knowing the tire and wheel frequency allows for easy calculation of driveshaft frequency. The driveshaft
drives the tires through the rear axle. Therefore, to determine driveshaft frequency, multiply tire and wheel
frequency by the ratio of the rear axle. Calculate driveshaft frequency by performing the following steps:
Obtain the axle ratio of the vehicle. Suppose the vehicle you are diagnosing has a vibration problem at
64 km/h (40 mph) and a rear axle ratio of 3.08:1.
Multiply the tire and wheel frequency of 7 Hz (calculated previously) with the rear axle ratio of
3.08:1. This results in a driveshaft frequency of 22 Hz at a vehicle speed of 64 km/h (40 mph).
The calculated frequency of 22 Hz is the first order driveshaft frequency; the second order frequency of the
driveshaft is twice this number, or 44 Hz; and so on.
Use the engine rpm where the vibration symptom occurs to determine engine frequency. Calculate engine
frequency by dividing the engine rpm by 60 (the number of seconds in a minute). For example, if the
corresponding engine rpm of a vibration concern on a vehicle is 2,400 rpm, the resulting engine frequency is
40 Hz. Therefore, a 40 Hz vibration is a first order engine vibration. For purposes of vibration diagnosis, the
engine also includes the torque converter and exhaust system.
Belt-driven engine accessories often produce vibrations at different frequencies than the engine itself. This is
because the drive ratio created by the different size pulleys causes them to rotate at different speeds.
Determining engine accessory frequency is comparable to calculating driveshaft frequency.
Determine the size ratio factor between the accessory pulley and the crankshaft pulley. For example,
if the diameter of the crankshaft pulley is 6 inches and the accessory pulley diameter is 2 inches, the
accessory pulley rotates 3 times for every crankshaft rotation (6 divided by 2).
Multiply the engine rpm where the vibration condition occurs by the number of times the accessory
pulley is rotating per crankshaft revolution. For example, if the engine rpm is 2,400 rpm, the
accessory is rotating at 7,200 rpm (2,400 rpm multiplied by 3).
Divide the accessory rpm by 60 (the number of seconds in a minute). In this example, the engine
accessory frequency is 120 Hz (7,200 divided by 60).
Multiply the engine rpm where the vibration symptom occurs by the number of cylinders fired with
each crankshaft revolution. For example, a vehicle with a 6-cylinder engine experiences a vibration
concern at 2,400 rpm. The engine is firing the cylinders at 7,200 times per minute (3 multiplied by
2,400).
Divide this number by 60 (the number of seconds in a minute) to obtain the engine firing frequency.
In this example, the engine firing frequency is 120 Hz (7,200 divided by 60) at 2,400 rpm.
Harshness Symptoms
Harshness is customer perception which gives the impression of no isolation from the tire/wheel and
suspension system. Harshness may be caused by road conditions, temperature changes, component damage
and/or incorrect customer modifications on original components/specifications. Customers usually experience
harshness when the vehicle is driving over bumps or potholes and in cold weather conditions. Harshness can
also be experienced with excessive tire pressure, sporty tires, heavy-duty springs and shocks, or other vehicle
modifications. Some aftermarket tires, even with the correct size, may change vehicle behavior and produce
A good diagnostic process is a logical sequence of steps that lead to the identification of a causal system. Use
the symptom and possible system categories as follows:
Use the diagnostic instructions in this section along with the necessary listed tools to identify the vibration
order and to isolate the symptom and the possible systems associated with that symptom. Then based on the
results from the road test, make a determination of which action in the symptom chart to take first. Since it is
possible any one of multiple systems may be the cause of the symptom, it may be necessary to use a process
of elimination type diagnostic approach to pinpoint the concern. Refer to the section(s) indicated to identify
and isolate the cause or rule that system out as being the causal system for the symptom.
NOTE: Any assembly that is out of balance will only cause a first order vibration, it will not cause a higher
order vibration.
When a vehicle-speed related vibration is present, both tire-speed related vibration and driveshaft-speed
related vibration calculations should be carried out.

The power liftgate feature allows the customer to automatically open or close the liftgate by: activating the
instrument panel control button, activating the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter, lifting the exterior
handle (open only) or activating the rear quarter trim-mounted switch (close only). The power liftgate feature
uses a power cinching system to latch the liftgate.
Power liftgate operation requires the vehicle to be in PARK and the vehicle speed to be less than 5 km/h (3
mph).
The power liftgate feature suspends a power open or power close when the ignition key is moved to the
START position. The clutch will remain active to hold the liftgate in place during a start operation. Once the
ignition key is no longer in the START position, the liftgate power open or power close will resume. If the
ignition key is cycled during a power close and the liftgate is 15 cm to 24 cm (6 in to 10 in) from being
latched, the liftgate may reverse to the full open position.
The power liftgate feature can be enabled/disabled from the message center. When the power liftgate feature
is disabled (OFF), operation from the liftgate handle and liftgate rear control switch are disabled.
To manually open the power liftgate, due to power latch loss of function, remove the latch access cover
located on the lower center of the liftgate trim panel. Reach in at the center of the latch assembly and push the
manual latch release lever to the right on the latch assembly.

Liftgate chime
SJB (ajar status)
The liftgate chime sounds an audible chime (located on the power liftgate motor assembly) for 3 seconds
whenever a powered closing operation is initiated or if conditions are not correct for closing. The chime sound
serves as a warning to alert the vehicle occupants and any bystanders that the liftgate is being moved in a
closing direction by a powered operation. The gate will not be moved for the first second, as a pre-warning of
impending gate movement.
The power liftgate may not operate under the following conditions:
If any of these conditions have occurred, the power liftgate must be reinitialized before carrying out
any pinpoint tests. Refer to Power Liftgate Initialization in this section.
Power Liftgate
Special Tool(s)
Principles Of Operation
NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) may also be identified as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).
SJB fuse 14 (10A) supplies battery logic power required for the software, clutch and internal switching
operations. Power is supplied to the motor by Battery Junction Box (BJB) fuse 36 (30A).
Ground for the Liftgate/Trunk Module (LTM) is a separate single connection. Some of the continuous inputs
which are at a ground state when on are also used for logic switching.
Power Liftgate Detent Switch, Forkbolt Primary Switch and Forkbolt Secondary Switch
The power liftgate detent switch, forkbolt primary switch and forkbolt secondary switch provide inputs to the
LTM in order to determine liftgate latch position. The LTM receives inputs from the power liftgate detent
switch, forkbolt primary switch and forkbolt secondary switch in the following manner:
NOTE: The liftgate is in the primary position when the liftgate is in the full closed position. The liftgate is in
the unlatch position when the liftgate is open and completely out of the striker. The liftgate can be placed in
the unlatched position by lifting up on the liftgate handle.
Latch Position Detent Switch Forkbolt Secondary Switch Forkbolt Primary Switch
Fully Unlatched Open a Grounded Grounded
In Secondary Grounded a Open Grounded
In Primary Grounded Open Open
To manually open the power liftgate, due to power latch failure, remove the latch access cover located on the
lower center of the liftgate trim panel. Reach in on the right side of the opening, and push down on the manual
latch release lever.
Unlatch/Cinching Motor
The latch uses a bi-directional motor to accomplish both release and cinch operations. The motor is driven in
one direction to cinch and in the opposite direction to release.
During a cinch operation, power is supplied to the unlatch/cinching motor by the LTM when the secondary
latch position is reached during a power close operation. When the motor activates, it pulls the liftgate into the
primary latch position. The LTM removes power from the unlatch/cinching motor when the primary latch
position is reached.
During an unlatch operation, power is supplied to the unlatch/cinching motor by the LTM when a valid open
command is received.
The sector gear open switch and sector gear close switch provide input to the LTM in order to determine the
position of the sector gear. The sector gear is part of the latch assembly. It is driven by the latch motor and in
turn drives the latch mechanism. During a release operation, the LTM deactivates the unlatch/cinching motor
once the end of travel is reached. After a release operation, the LTM keeps the latch released until the gate
moves away from the vehicle. The LTM then reverses the direction of the unlatch/cinching motor until the
sector gear switches indicate the sector gear has returned to the neutral position. Refer to the following table
for sector gear switch states:
Sector Gear Position Sector Gear Open Switch Sector Gear Close Switch
End of Travel Grounded Grounded
Release Open Grounded
Cinch Grounded Open
Neutral Open Open
Position Sensor
When awake, the LTM supplies a 5-volt reference voltage to the position sensor on a valid open command or
anytime the liftgate is in the open position (up to 6 hours). The LTM constantly supplies the ground. The
position sensor has 2 data lines that the LTM monitors to determine the liftgate movement and position. The
LTM uses the liftgate position information to determine which direction to power the liftgate (open or close)
when a valid operation command is received. The movement is monitored to identify obstructions.
The drive assembly actuator clutch separates the drive assembly actuator motor from the liftgate drive gear.
This allows manual opening and closing of the liftgate without driving the motor. The LTM supplies power to
the drive assembly actuator clutch for any valid open/close operation. The clutch connects the drive assembly
actuator motor to the drive actuator, allowing the motor to turn the actuator and open or close the liftgate.
Actuator Motor
The drive assembly actuator motor is a reversible motor. Upon a valid activation, the LTM supplies power
and ground to the motor circuits depending on the liftgate position and the direction the liftgate needs to be
moved.
Pressing the instrument panel power liftgate control switch supplies a momentary ground signal to the LTM
which will open or close the liftgate depending on the conditions.
Pressing the power liftgate rear control switch (located on the LH quarter trim panel) supplies a momentary
ground signal to the LTM which will close the liftgate depending on the conditions.
When the exterior handle switch is activated, the SJB sends a signal to the LTM which will open the liftgate
depending on the conditions.
The SJB receives a power liftgate activation command (double press) from the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE)
transmitter. The SJB will send a signal on the Controller Area Network (CAN) to the power liftgate. The
signal transmitted between the SJB and the LTM is not specific to the open or close operation. The LTM will
determine which operation to carry out depending on the liftgate position when the signal is received.
Power liftgate open operation requires the vehicle to be in PARK and the vehicle speed to be less than 5 km/h
(3 mph). The power liftgate receives information over the CAN from the PCM for the PRNDL position and
from the Instrument Cluster (IC) (gateway) for vehicle speed. These inputs have network DTCs. If any vehicle
speed or transmission rangeTransmission Range (TR) switch DTCs are retrieved and the power liftgate is not
operating, repair these DTCs first.
The following is a brief explanation of a normal power open cycle of the power liftgate.
The power open operation will begin with one of the following methods:
The LTM receives a momentary ground signal from the power liftgate control switch.
The SJB receives a signal from the remote transmitter key fob (double button press).
The LTM receives a signal from the SJB indicating the exterior liftgate handle has been
activated.
The LTM checks the PRNDL position and vehicle speed status from the CAN communication link.
The LTM supplies power to the unlatch/cinching motor until the sector gear switches indicate end of
travel which releases the power liftgate latch.
The power liftgate detent switch, primary forkbolt switch and secondary forkbolt switch circuits are
monitored for correct latch release signals.
Power is supplied to the drive assembly actuator clutch and motor, opening the power liftgate.
The power liftgate supplies power to the unlatch/cinching motor while monitoring the sector gear
switches to return the sector gear to the neutral position.
When the power liftgate is opening, the position sensor is monitored for liftgate position and velocity.
If an obstruction is detected, the liftgate will stop.
The power liftgate full open position is learned by the LTM during the power liftgate initialization.
When the power liftgate reaches the full open position, the LTM removes the power from the drive
assembly actuator motor and clutch.
After the power is removed from the clutch and drive motor, the position sensor briefly continues to
monitor the position of the liftgate. If excessive movement in the closed direction is detected, power is
reapplied to the clutch and a continuous chime is initiated and remains on as the liftgate is
automatically power closed.
If the excessive closing movement is detected on 11 successive power open requests, DTC B201A is
set and power liftgate operation is disabled until the DTC is cleared.
The following is a brief explanation of a normal power close cycle of the power liftgate.
The power close operation will begin with one of the following methods:
The LTM receives a momentary ground signal from the power liftgate control switch.
The LTM receives a momentary ground signal from the power liftgate rear control switch
(LH rear quarter panel).
The SJB receives a signal from the remote transmitter key fob (double press).
The LTM checks the PRNDL position and vehicle speed status from the CAN communication link.
The LTM will start an audible chime.
After one second of audible chime, power is supplied to the drive assembly actuator clutch and motor
as the audible chime continues 3 seconds total.
As the power liftgate is powered closed, the position sensor is monitored for liftgate position and
velocity. The power liftgate will reverse if an obstruction is detected.
Also, as the power liftgate is powered closed, the pinch strips are monitored for a pinch condition.
The power liftgate will reverse if an obstruction is detected by either pinch strip.
The power liftgate detent switch, forkbolt primary switch and forkbolt secondary switch circuits are
monitored for correct latch signals.
When the LTM receives switch signals indicating the secondary latch position is reached, power is
supplied to the unlatch/cinching motor to pull the liftgate into the primary latch position. When
primary latch position is reached, power is removed from the drive motor and clutch.
When the LTM receives switch signals indicating the primary latch position has been reached (liftgate
is fully closed), the LTM reverses the direction of the unlatch/cinching motor until the sector gear
switches indicate the neutral position.
The LTM requests a chime to sound for one second when an open or close input is received when:
The LTM requests a continuous chime during a power close immediately after a power open under the
following conditions:
The chime will sound continuously for up to 5 minutes when the transmission is shifted out of the PARK
position or the vehicle speed exceeds 5 km/h (3 mph) while the liftgate is open/ajar. The chime will stop
sounding when the liftgate reaches the latch, 5 minutes has elapsed or the transmission is shifted into the
PARK position and the vehicle speed is less than 5 km/h (3 mph).
The chime will sound continuously for up to 5 minutes when the liftgate fails to close to the primary latch
position after 20 seconds of powering in the close direction. The chime will stop if the liftgate reaches the
primary latch position or 5 minutes has elapsed.
If the LTM loses the logic battery supply for any reason, such as battery disconnect, module disconnect or if
left open for more than 6 hours, the LTM will lose the power liftgate position stored in memory and will
attempt to open when the liftgate switch is pressed the first time.
The power liftgate can also lose position if the following components are removed, adjusted or disconnected:
The power liftgate normal operation will not be restored until the power liftgate position is once again stored
into memory. The initialization procedure is the learning process the LTM uses to restore the power liftgate
position in memory. The LTM monitors the position sensor data received during the initial power
open-and-close operation to learn the position.
The LTM is in the awake state whenever the ignition is in the RUN position.
The LTM is in the awake state while carrying out a close or an open operation, including cinch.
The LTM is in the sleep state when all of the following conditions exist:
The latch is not in the fully unlatched position.
The ignition is in the OFF position.
No power operation is active.
No wakeup inputs have changed state for more than 20 seconds.
The LTM is also in the sleep state when all of the following conditions exist:
The latch is in the unlatched position.
The ignition is in the OFF position.
No power operation is active.
No wakeup inputs have changed state for more than 6 hours.
2. The battery voltage must be at normal operating levels in order for the power liftgate to open and
close correctly. Make sure the battery and charging systems are operating correctly before proceeding
with the power liftgate diagnosis.
3. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage. Refer to the following chart.

switch, secondary forkbolt switch and the primary forkbolt switch. When the combination of signals is
received that indicates the liftgate has reached the secondary latch position, the LTM supplies 12 volts to the
unlatch/cinching motor on circuit CPR61 (BN) and ground on circuit CPR62 (WH/BU). The unlatch/cinching
motor rotates the latch mechanism which pulls the liftgate into primary latch position.
DTC B2019 (Liftgate Exceeded Time Allowed to Cinch Door) If the cinching sequence has been
active for more than 5 seconds the latch cinching sequence will time out and the LTM will set this
DTC.
DTC B2908 (Latch Switch Invalid) This DTC sets when the LTM detects the liftgate is not in the
fully latched (primary) position at the beginning of Self-Test. This DTC may also be set if the LTM
does not detect a change in the latch status during latch releasing/cinching.

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 109 , Power Liftgate for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
When the power liftgate moves in the close direction, the Liftgate/Trunk Module (LTM) monitors the pinch
strips and position sensor for obstacle detection. The LTM uses a 5-volt reference signal on circuit CPR52
(YE/VT) and a return signal on circuit RPR52 (VT/GY) for the left pinch strip. The LTM uses a 5-volt
reference signal on circuit CPR51 (YE/OG) and a return signal on circuit RPR52 (VT/GY) for the right pinch
strip. The right and left pinch strip return signal circuits are spliced together.
The position sensor receives 5 volts from the LTM through circuit CPR55 (GN/BU) and ground from the
LTM through circuit RPR55 (WH/BU). The position sensor output signal is supplied to the LTM through
circuit VPR53 (BU/WH) and VPR54 (BU/BN).

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 08/12/2010
Exterior Trim
If equipped, the PRBs automatically move when the doors are opened to assist entering and exiting the
vehicle.
The PRB feature may be enabled/disabled through the message center. For information on how to access the
PRB feature within the message center, refer to the Owner's Literature.
When the PRB is disabled (OFF), the PRB will immediately move to the stowed position regardless of the
position of the doors.
When the PRB is enabled (AUTO), the PRBs will extend when the doors are opened and return to the stowed
position when the doors are closed or vehicle speed is greater than 8 km/h (5 mph).
When the PRBs are manually set to the deployed position (OUT), they will return to the stowed position and
AUTO mode when the vehicle speed is greater than 8 km/h (5 mph).
SECTION 501-08: Exterior Trim and Ornamentation 2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Procedure revision date: 08/12/2010
Special Tool(s)
Principles of Operation
The Power Running Boards (PRBs) are controlled by the Power Running Board (PRB) module. The PRB
motors receive motor power and ground from the PRB module. The PRB module receives door ajar switch
status and vehicle speed information from the Controller Area Network (CAN).
When in AUTO mode, the PRBs will deploy when a door on the same side of the vehicle is opened. When
both doors on the same side are closed, the PRBs will retract.
When in OUT mode, both PRBs will stay deployed until OUT mode is deselected, reset to AUTO mode or
vehicle speed is greater than 8 km/h (5 mph). Mode will automatically switch back to AUTO once above 8
km/h (5 mph).
When an obstacle is detected, the PRB will reverse direction. If a second obstacle is detected, the PRB will
reverse direction again. If a third obstacle is detected, the PRB will stop against the third obstacle until the
following conditions are met:
Mechanical Electrical
3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before
proceeding to the next step.
4. NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.
If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
5. NOTE: The Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) LED prove out confirms power and ground
from the DLC are provided to the VCM .
8. Clear the CMDTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the PRB module.
9. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to Power Running Board (PRB) Module DTC
Chart. For all other DTCs, refer to Section 419-10 .

Pinpoint Tests
Pinpoint Test A: The PRB Does Not Operate Correctly - Both Running Boards
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 109 , Power Liftgate/Retractable Running Boards for schematic and connector
information.
NOTE: The Power Running Board (PRB) module will stop functionality when battery voltage drops below
9.5 volts (early build) or 9.0 volts (late build). The PRB system will recover at the next door ajar transition,
provided that the battery voltage remains above 9.0 volts (late build only).
Normal Operation
The PRB module receives power through circuit SBB11 (BU/RD) and ground through circuit GD143
(BK/VT). The LH and RH PRB motor Hall-effect sensors receive a regulated 10-volt power supply from the
PRB module through circuit CPR47 (GY/BN). The Hall-effect ground is provided by the PRB module
through circuit RPR47 (BU/GN). The PRB module receives door ajar and vehicle speed status over the
Controller Area Network (CAN).

Normal Operation
The Power Running Board (PRB) module provides a regulated 10-volt power supply to the Hall-effect sensor
(internal to the PRB motor) through circuit CPR47 (GY/BN). The Hall-effect ground is provided by the PRB
module through circuit RPR47 (BU/GN). The PRB module monitors the PRB Hall-effect signal through
circuit VPR43 (GY/BU) (LH) or VPR46 (GY/OG) (RH). If the PRB module does not receive any signal from
the Hall-effect sensor during operation, the PRB will stop.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 08/12/2010
Exterior Mirrors
The power exterior rear view mirrors are available with a heated mirror glass feature, which heats the mirror
glass to remove frost, snow, ice and condensation. The rear window defrost switch controls the operation of
the heated exterior rear view mirrors. The heated exterior rear view mirrors only operate when the rear
window defrost system is in the ON position.
The power folding mirror option allows both power exterior rear view mirrors to be folded or unfolded. Power
folding mirrors can be identified by the words FOLD/UNFOLD on the exterior mirror control switch. When
the exterior mirror control switch is set to the center position and pressed rearward to the FOLD/UNFOLD
position, the LH and RH exterior mirrors will fold in towards the door if they are folded out, or unfold
outwards if they are folded in. The RH and LH power folding mirrors will fold and unfold at the same time
and cannot be controlled independently. If the power folding mirrors are folded or unfolded continuously for 6
to 10 cycles, the power lockout feature will disable the system for approximately 7-10 minutes to prevent
damage to the power fold motors. After 7-10 minutes have elapsed, normal operation will resume.
The power folding mirrors must be synchronized any time the mirrors are folded orded without using the
mirror control switch, or if a new power folding mirror has been installed. Refer to Exterior Mirror Motor
Synchronization - Power Folding in this section.
The memory exterior mirror function recalls the preferred positioning of the LH and RH exterior mirror glass
that is retained in the DSM memory. The DSM monitors the exterior mirror control switch and controls the
movement of the RH and LH exterior mirror motors. The memory exterior mirror function is activated by the
door mounted switches or the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter. When a memory position is recalled
by the operator, the LH and RH exterior mirror glass will automatically adjust to the preferred position. The
DSM is capable of setting a DTC for the memory mirror system when a system concern exists.
For information on the DSM and memory position programming, refer to Section 501-10 .
The exterior mirrors may be equipped with exterior mirror glass that has an integrated blind spot mirror. The
integrated blind spot mirror is located in the upper outboard corner of the exterior mirror glass.
Interior Mirror
The vehicle may be equipped with one of the following interior rear view mirrors:
The LH exterior and interior rear view auto-dimming mirrors adjusts the reflectance level of the mirror glass
to eliminate unwanted glare. The reflectance level of the mirror glass is variable and depends on the amount
of rear glare in relation to ambient light conditions in front of the interior mirror. To provide increased
visibility when backing up, the LH exterior and interior rear view mirrors automatically return to a high
reflectance mode whenever the gear selector is in REVERSE.
On vehicles equipped with a compass, the interior rear view mirror will be equipped with an integrated
compass module. For compass information, calibration or diagnostics, refer to Section 413-01 .
On vehicles equipped with SYNC, the interior rear view mirro will be equipped with an integrated
microphone. For microphone information or diagnostics, refer to Section 415-00 .
On vehicles equipped with a rear-mounted object detection camera, a video image will be displayed on the LH
side of the interior rear view mirror glass when the gear selector is in REVERSE. For information on the
rear-mounted object detection system, refer to Section 413-13 .
SECTION 501-09: Rear View Mirrors 2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Procedure revision date: 08/12/2010
Special Tool(s)
Principles of Operation
The movement of the LH and RH exterior mirror glass is controlled by the exterior mirror control switch and
the LH and RH exterior mirror motors. Adjusting the exterior mirror switch to the LH or RH position
determines which exterior mirror motor will be controlled.
If equipped with power folding mirrors, the center position of the exterior mirror control switch controls the
powerding mirrors.
The exterior mirrors use a jumper harness between the vehicle wire harness connector and the exterior mirror
motor. The exterior mirror jumper harness is integral to the exterior mirror. Before replacing an exterior
mirror or mirror motor, inspect the jumper harness for open and shorted circuits or damaged and pushed-out
pins. If a concern with the exterior mirror jumper harness exists, an attempt to repair the jumper harness
should be made.
Only vehicles equipped with memory exterior mirrors are capable of setting DTCs.
The rear window defrost switch controls the operation of the heated exterior mirrors. The heated exterior
mirrors only operate when the rear window defrost is ON. The heated exterior mirror power is supplied by the
rear window defrost relay through Battery Junction Box (BJB) fuse 23 (15A), which isolates the heated
exterior mirrors from the rear window defrost system in the event of a concern. The heated mirrors are heated
for a period of 10 minutes when the engine is running and the heated mirror switch is pressed to the ON
position.
The movement of the LH and RH exterior mirror glass is controlled by the exterior mirror control switch,
Driver Seat Module (DSM) and the LH and RH exterior mirror motors. Adjusting the exterior mirror switch to
the LH or RH position determines which exterior mirror motor will be controlled. The exterior mirror control
switch sends voltage and ground input signals to the DSM . The DSM will provide the appropriate voltage
and ground to the appropriate mirror motor in order to move the mirror motor to the desired position.
For information on the DSM and memory position programming, refer to Section 501-10 .
NOTE: The power folding mirrors may need to be synchronized when the RH, LH or both power folding
mirrors are partially folded in toward the door manually, and then folded inward using the power folding
mirror control switch. Refer to Exterior Mirror Motor Synchronization - Power Folding in this section.
NOTE: Before running a self-test diagnostic or retrieving DTCs, the power fold switch must be inactive for at
least 30 seconds. Retrieving DTCs before 30 seconds will result in false DTCs.
The power folding exterior mirrors are controlled by the DSM . The power folding exterior mirror feature
allows both exterior mirrors to be folded or unfolded using the exterior mirror control switch. When the
exterior mirror control switch is set to the center position and pressed rearward to the FOLD/UNFOLD
position, the exterior mirror control switch sends a signal to the DSM which then supplies power and ground
to the exterior mirrors to fold or unfold the mirrors. The RH and LH power folding mirrors will fold or unfold
at the same time and cannot be controlled independently. The power folding mirrors contain a drive motor that
is not replaceable. If a power folding mirror drive motor is found to be inoperative, a new power folding
exterior rear view mirror assembly must be installed. If the power folding mirrors are folded or unfolded
continuously (6 to 10 cycles), the power lockout feature will disable the system for approximately 7-10
minutes to prevent damage to the power folding mirror drive motors. After 7-10 minutes have elapsed, normal
operation will resume. Before running a self-test or retrieving DTCs, the power fold switch must be inactive
for at least 30 seconds.
The exterior mirror may be equipped with a mirror-mounted turn signal assembly. For the mirror-mounted
turn signal Description and Operation, service procedures or Diagnosis and Testing, refer to Section 417-01 .
Puddle Lamps
The exterior mirrors may be equipped with puddle lamps, which will illuminate when the interior lights are
turned on by opening a door or by pressing the unlock button on the remote transmitter, if equipped. For the
mirror-mounted puddle lamp Description and Operation, service procedures or Diagnosis and Testing, refer to
Section 417-01 .
1. Verify the customer concern by operating the power exterior mirrors or memory mirrors.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical, impact damage, dirt and electrical damage.

Pinpoint Test E: The Power Folding Mirrors Do Not Operate/Do Not Operate Correctly
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 124 , Power Mirrors for schematic and connector information.
NOTE: The power folding mirrors must be synchronized anytime the RH, LH or both power folding mirrors
are folded or unfolded without using the power folding mirror control switch, or if a new power folding mirror
has been installed. Refer to Exterior Mirror Motor Synchronization - Power Folding in this section.
When the power folding mirror module receives a ground signal from the exterior mirror control switch, the
power folding mirror module will activate the power folding mirrors in the opposite direction of the last
activation for approximately 20 seconds. The power folding mirror module controls movement by reversing
the polarity of the voltage and ground it supplies to the power folding mirror motors.
If the power folding mirrors are folded or unfolded continuously (6 to 10 cycles), the power lockout feature
will disable the system for approximately 7-10 minutes to prevent damage to the power fold motors. After
7-10 minutes have elapsed, normal operation will resume.

SECTION 501-09: Rear View Mirrors 2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Procedure revision date: 08/12/2010
Special Tool(s)
Principles of Operation
The interior auto-dimming rear view mirror and LH exterior mirror automatically reduces the glare caused by
headlamps reflecting in the interior rear view mirror. The auto-dimming feature is disabled when the vehicle
is in REVERSE. Power is supplied to the interior auto-dimming mirror when the ignition is in the RUN
position or the accey delay is active.
The interior auto-dimming rear view mirror has 2 photoelectric sensors, a forward facing sensor and a
rearward facing sensor, that detect forward and rearward light conditions. Based on these inputs, the automatic
dimming feature adjusts the reflectance level of the interior and LH exterior mirror glass to eliminate
unwanted glare. The reflectance level of the mirror glass is variable and depends on the amount of rear glare
in relation to ambient light conditions in front of the interior mirror.
When the forward sensor detects daytime conditions, the rearward sensor is inactive and the interior rear view
mirror stays in a high reflectance mode. When the forward sensor detects nighttime conditions, the rearward
sensor is active and detects glare from the headlights of vehicles approaching from the rear or other
glare-producing light sources. To provide increased visibility when backing up, the interior rear view mirror
and LH exterior mirror will automatically return to a high reflectance mode whenever the vehicle is in
REVERSE.
If the forward or rearward sensors are blocked, the interior auto-dimming feature might not work correctly.
For vehicles that are equipped with a rear-mounted object detection camera, a video image will be displayed
on the LH side of the interior rear view mirror glass when the transmission is in the REVERSE position. For
information on the rear-mounted object detection system, refer to Section 413-13 .

If the mirror is still on the windshield do not remove. ATTEMPT to fully seat the mirror first. If the
mirror is still loose or vibrates, REMOVE the mirror. REFER to Interior Rear View Mirror in this
section. INSPECT the interior mirror mount for damage. If damaged, INSTALL a new interior mirror.
If the mount is not damaged, REINSTALL the interior mirror making sure that it is fully seated.
Pinpoint Tests
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 124 , Power Mirrors for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
The interior auto-dimming mirror contains 2 photoelectric sensors: one in the front of the interior rear view
mirror and one mounted on the glass side of the mirror. If the sensors are blocked, the LH exterior mirror and
auto-dimming feature may not operate correctly. Always verify both sensors are not physically blocked before
attempting to diagnose auto-dimming mirror concerns. Whenever the gear selector lever is placed in
REVERSE, the interior auto-dimming mirror temporarily disables the auto-dimming feature. The
auto-dimming feature is enabled again when the gear selector lever is moved out of REVERSE.
If equipped with a LH auto-dimming mirror, voltage is sent from the interior auto-dimming mirror to the LH
exterior mirror.
NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) from the Flex Probe Kit when making measurements.
Failure to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
NOTE: If the Transmission Range (TR) sensor is malfunctioning and the backup lamps are on all the time or
do not turn on, the interior auto-dimming mirror will not darken or return to normal view.

Seats
Special Tool(s)
This vehicle utilizes a communication system called a Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN).
When diagnosing the memory seat, climate controlled seat or third row power fold seat, use a Vehicle
Communication Module (VCM) and Integrated Diagnostic System (IDS) software with appropriate hardware,
or equivalent scan tool with the latest software update with the capability of communicating over the
MS-CAN communication bus.
Principles of Operation
The 10-way seat control feature moves the seat in 10 possible directions: the seat can be moved forward or
backward and the front and back of the cushion can be moved up and down independently. The backrest of
the seat can be moved forward and backward, and the lumbar can be moved in and out. All 10 positions are
controlled by one switch. The power seat feature operates independent of the ignition position.
The 6-way power seat feature moves the seat in 6 possible directions: the seat can be moved forward or
backward and the front and back of the cushion can be moved up and down independently. The power seat
feature operates independent of the ignition position.
The power seat motors are hardwired to the seat control switch. The circuits are normally at ground through
the seat control switch. An individual circuit is switched to voltage when a specific adjustment position is
selected.
NOTE: Verify good battery condition before diagnosing the memory seat system. Poor battery condition may
interfere with memory seat operation, even if vehicle starting is possible.
Seats 348
2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
NOTE: A memory recall in progress does not prohibit the initiation of another memory recall; the most
recently requested memory recall will be executed.
The memory driver seat feature allows the driver to program a personalized seat position that can be recalled
using the memory switch or a Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter (if associated). There are 2 memory
settings possible. The power exterior mirrors, power adjustable pedal (if equipped) and power steering column
(if equipped) positions are also stored and recalled with the power driver seat positions. The power steering
column memory positioning is only used to raise the column upon easy exit and position it back upon easy
entry.
The Driver Seat Module (DSM) does not require calibration to the driver seat track, although soft stops must
be set within the seat track physical limits.
The driver seat control switch provides voltage to the DSM when activated. The neutral position of each
driver seat control switch position is a ground state through the seat control switch contacts. A voltage input
causes the DSM to power the appropriate motor until the input is removed. Ground is the normal state of the
motor circuits through the DSM and is not switched to control the motors. The DSM internally switches the
appropriate circuit from ground to voltage for operating the motors.
As the seat is adjusted, the DSM constantly monitors the motor position sensors to record the current seat
position. The DSM will remove voltage from the motor upon termination of the seat control switch input or if
the DSM does not see movement from the motor by monitoring the position sensor.
The DSM communicates DTCs and other information using the MS-CAN communication bus. It should be
noted for diagnostics that because Controller Area Network (CAN) bus communication is more robust and
reliable than other methods, it may be possible to have limited module communication with one of the CAN
bus circuits disconnected or shorted to ground. Refer to Section 418-00 for information concerning MS-CAN

This section only diagnoses concerns specific to the memory seat. To diagnose an exterior mirror concern,
refer to Section 501-09 . To diagnose a power adjustable pedal concern, refer to Section 206-06 . To diagnose
a power steering column concern, refer to Section 211-04 .
For information on programming memory positions or recalling a stored memory position, refer to Memory
Position Programming in this section.
The easy entry/exit feature is a function of the DSM that moves the driver seat backwards about 51 mm (2 in)
and the power steering column (if equipped) to the full upward position when the ignition key is removed
from the ignition switch. The DSM receives a key out command over the MS-CAN and powers the driver seat
rearward and the steering column upward. This function will not operate if the seat is less than the 51 mm (2
in) travel distance to the end of the track or the function has been disabled. The DSM will also cancel this
operation if a valid input command is received from the driver seat control switch, memory SET switch,
adjustable pedal control switch, exterior mirror control switch or power steering column switch.
The DSM will record the current seat and power steering column (if equipped) positions before powering the
seat and column for an easy exit operation. This recorded position will be used to return the seat and steering
column to this position on the easy entry operation. During easy entry operation, the seat and steering column
are returned to the position previous to the easy exit operation. Easy entry operation will be cancelled if a
valid input command is received by the DSM .
The easy entry/exit feature can be enabled/disabled using a scan tool. When enabled, the feature becomes a

user accessible item on the message center allowing the user to turn the feature on and off. Refer to the
Owner's Literature or Section 413-01 for information on the message center.
NOTE: A memory recall in progress does not prohibit the initiation of another memory recall; the most
recently requested memory recall will be executed.
A Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) transmitter can be used to recall previously set memory positions but must
first be associated to that memory position. The transmitter associated with personality 1 is capable of
recalling memory position 1 only. Similarly, the associated personality 2 transmitter can recall only memory
position 2.
Memory recall occurs when the unlock switch is depressed on the RKE transmitter if it has been associated
with a memory position. The second depression of the unlock switch, which unlocks passenger doors, does
not initiate a memory recall.
For information on diagnosing an RKE concern or associating a RKE transmitter to a memory position, refer
to Section 501-14 .
A hard stop occurs when one of the memory seat track, backrest (recline) or power steering column axes
physically reach the end of travel and can go no further. A soft stop occurs when the seat or steering column
stops before physically reaching the end of travel. The hard stop is set by seat or steering column design and
cannot be changed or adjusted. The soft stop is set by the DSM . The seat track axes are forward/rearward,
front up/down and rear up/down. The seat backrest axis is forward/rearward and the steering column axis is
up/down. To prevent unnecessary stress on the seat, steering column and motors, the DSM will set up to 10
soft stop positions, 2 for each moving axis. The DSM will use a preset distance from the hard stop to
determine where the soft stop will occur. When an axis reaches the hard stop and the switch is held for
approximately one second it will then back up 180 milliseconds and establish the soft stop for that axis in that
direction. The DSM uses this "back up" strategy to check sensor integrity any time movement has stopped
prematurely due to a sensor failure or obstruction.
NOTE: If a new DSM has been installed, all power driver seat and power steering column (if equipped) soft
stops must be reset. If a new seat track, recline motor or power column has been installed, only reset the soft
stops for that component being installed new.
Use the following procedure once a new seat track, recline motor, power steering column or DSM has been
installed.
During the setting procedure, one second after a seat track, seat backrest or steering column axis reaches its
end of travel in either direction, the DSM will move the motor being used on that particular axis a small
amount in the opposite direction of the way the switch is being pressed. Once the motor has moved the seat
track or backrest this small amount, the soft stop is set and the switch can be released.
2. Press the seat control switch horizontal button forward until the seat track stops.
Seats 350
2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
3. Keep the horizontal button pressed forward for one second after the seat track reaches its forward end
of travel. The seat track will then move back a small amount. The horizontal forward soft stop has
been set, release the switch button.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 for all seat track and backrest axes in both directions.
NOTICE: Avoid applying voltage directly to a Thermo-Electric Device (TED) for testing its operation.
Doing so may cause damage to the TED .
NOTE: When installing a new Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM), it is necessary to carry out
Programmable Module Installation (PMI). Refer to Section 418-01 .
Both the driver and front passenger climate controlled seats are independently controlled electronically by the
DCSM mounted to the bottom of the passenger seat cushion. The climate controlled seat system only operates
with the engine running, however, if using a scan tool to command the DCSM , diagnostic testing can be
carried out with the ignition ON engine OFF in 15 second durations. The system receives voltage from
Battery Junction Box (BJB) fuse 67 (40A) supplying battery voltage into the DCSM .
If one of the voltage supply circuits opens, both seats will remain operational because the circuits are
connected internally in the DCSM .
Both climate controlled seats operate independently. If a fault occurs setting a DTC specific to either climate
controlled seat, only the affected seat will be disabled by the module. If the system shuts down due to a DTC
fault, cycling the ignition to OFF and then ON again will reset the DCSM to function until the DTC resets.
The 4 climate controlled seat switches (identified with seat icons) on the HVAC module activate each seat
system setting and illuminate indicators above each switch to indicate the operating mode. There are 3
indicators for HIGH, 2 indicators for MED and 1 indicator for LOW.
Each driver and front passenger seat cushion and backrest is equipped with a Thermo-Electric Device (TED)
and blower motor assembly. Applying voltage polarity to the TED in one direction, causes it to heat.
Applying voltage polarity in the opposite direction causes the TED to cool. Cabin air is drawn through the
blower and distributed to each of the TED modules located in the seat cushion and backrest. The TEDs then
heat or cool the incoming air depending on the control switch settings. The air is then directed into the foam
pad and manifold where it is distributed along the surface of the cushion and backrest of the seat. Once
activated, the DCSM maintains the heating/cooling modes until deactivated.
The temperature differences between the individual heated and cooled settings is minimal. For example, it is
difficult to distinguish between LOW cool and MED cool settings. Measuring seat temperature at different
settings is possible by monitoring the DCSM PIDs using the scan tool.
The HVAC module communicates climate controlled seat commands to the DCSM using the MS-CAN bus.
The MS-CAN bus is connected to the Data Link Connector (DLC) for diagnostic use. No direct connection
exists between the DCSM and HVAC module for the climate controlled seat switches. The climate controlled
seats can be commanded on or off using the scan tool to verify both module communication on the MS-CAN
bus and operation of the DCSM . This method may be useful for isolating a control switch concern. It should
also be noted that because CAN bus communication is more robust and reliable than other methods, it may be
possible to have limited module communication with one of the CAN bus circuits disconnected or shorted to
ground. Refer to Section 418-00 for information concerning CAN bus communication.

2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
Heating Characteristics
In heat mode, the TED circuits of a given seat are wired in parallel internally in the DCSM .
The climate controlled seat system draws approximately 24 amperes, with both seats heating, until
reaching the set point and then the system operates at a reduced amperage to maintain the climate
setting.
In heat mode, the TED can add up to 40C-60C (72F-108F) to the ambient inlet air temperature as
it passes over the TED .
The system control settings are based on the indicators above each climate controlled seat heat switch
button on the HVAC module.
In the LOW setting, the DCSM is set to maintain TED temperature at approximately 46C (115F).
In the HIGH setting, the DCSM is set to maintain TED temperature at 65C (149F).
When heating, the DCSM will vary the speed of the fans and the TED duty cycle in order to reach and
maintain the temperature determined by the switch setting (closed loop operation). Refer to the
following table for heating mode temperatures.
Cooling Characteristics
In cool mode, the TED circuits are wired in series internally in the DCSM .
The climate controlled seat system draws approximately 7 amps.
In cool mode, the TED can remove up to 8C (14F) from the ambient air temperature entering the
system.
The system control settings are based on the indicators above each climate controlled seat cool switch
button on the HVAC module.
When cooling, the DCSM maintains constant speed of the fans and constant TED supply voltage
(duty cycle) in open loop COOL mode (refer to the following table).
The climate controlled seat system is deactivated by one of the following actions:
If the temperature at one of the TEDs falls below 5C (41F), the DCSM will shut down the TEDs and initiate
system recovery mode. If the temperature continues to drop below 2C (36F), the DCSM will shut down the
fans in the affected seat.
Seats 352
2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
Climate Controlled Seat System Recovery Mode
NOTE: The presence of overtemperature faults (DTCs B2729, B2730, B272A and B272B) can be induced by
incorrect operation of the climate controlled seat system after an initial heat setting has been attained. If a heat
setting is repeatedly turned OFF and ON in an attempt to increase the seat temperature or repeatedly toggled
between heat and cool modes, an overtemperature condition can result and the DTC(s) will be set.
If the temperature at one of the TEDs rises above 110C (230F) in the heat mode or 65C (149F) in the cool
mode for more than 4 seconds, the DCSM will record an overtemperature DTC, remove voltage from the
TEDs and go into recovery mode (blower only) for 30 seconds to cool down the TEDs . The same will occur
if a temperature difference of 60C (108F) or greater is seen between the backrest and cushion TEDs on
either front seat. The DCSM will continue to monitor the TEDs while in recovery mode. If the temperature of
the TEDs does not drop to 105C (221F) in the heat mode or 60C (140F) in the cool mode after 30
seconds, the system will continue to cool the TEDs in recovery mode for up to 5 minutes. If the TEDs cool
down at anytime after 30 seconds, but before 5 minutes (checked at 4-second intervals), the system will
operate as normal. An overtemperature DTC will still be recorded even if the recovers and is operating
normally. This scenario is more likely to occur during extreme cabin temperatures with significant seat back
sunload. If the system does not recover within 30 seconds in heat mode or within 5 minutes in cool mode, the
DCSM will disable that seat (fault mode) and remain off until the ignition is cycled. Also, if the DCSM
detects temperature differential fault twice during the same ignition cycle, it will shutdown. When a fault
causes a shutdown the climate controlled seat indicators will turn off and that seat will not be operational until
the next key cycle.
Vehicles equipped with rear heated seats are equipped with a single-heated seat module to control both rear
heated seats. The heated seat module is located under the front floor console. When the heated seat switch is
pressed, a momentary ground signal is sent to the heated seat module. The heated seat module then supplies
voltage to the heater circuit. The seat cushion and backrest heater mats are wired in series and supplied
voltage by the same output. The heated seat module monitors inputs from a temperature sensor, located in
each seat's cushion heater mat and maintains seat temperature by cycling the heater feed output as necessary
to maintain the set point temperature. The heated seat module will send voltage to the indicator circuit at the
heated seat switch to indicate an on state. The heated seat module will remain on until the heated seat switch
is pressed to supply a second momentary ground signal or the ignition is set to OFF. The heated seat module
does not time out.
The heated seat module does not report DTCs and does not communicate on any network. If a fault is detected
the affected seat system will be disabled. The faults detected will be:
To reset the module, cycle the ignition OFF and then ON. After the heated seat module has been reset, the
module will return to an off state. The heated seat module does not report DTCs and does not communicate on
any communication network.
A new heated seat module must be configured after installation for correct operation. Heated seat module
configuration occurs automatically when the low heat mode button is pressed on either rear heated seat
switch. Until the module is correctly configured, the heated seats will operate incorrectly from the high heat
de button on either heated seat switch by following a sequence of high, low and off with each button press.
After the low heat mode button is pressed on either heated seat switch, the module will correctly configure
Seats 353
2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
and the system will operate correctly.
NOTICE: To prevent possible damage to the third row seat or the safety belts, make sure that the safety
belts are not fastened when moving the seat to the load floor position.
NOTICE: Make sure that no objects such as books, purses or briefcases are on the floor in front of the
third row seats or on the seat cushion before lowering the backrest(s). Failure to follow this instruction
may cause incorrect operation of the seat.
NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) may also be identified as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).
For the third row power-fold seat to operate, voltage is supplied by the SJB to the power-fold seat relay,
enabling the seats to then be moved by pressing the third row power-fold seat switches. The third row
power-fold seat operates only when the vehicle is in PARK and the liftgate glass, liftgate door or any entry
door must be open.
The third row power-fold seat motors transfer movement to a drive gear assembly to raise and lower the seat
backrest. The power-fold seat motors rotate a short torque shaft which is connected to the drive gear
assembly. The power-fold seat motor and bracket assembly is serviceable separately. Refer to Power-Fold
Seat Motor in this section.

Pinpoint Test Q: A Single Climate Controlled Seat is Inoperative - Switch Indicators May Or May Not
Illuminate
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 119 , Climate Controlled Seats for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
The Dual Climate Controlled Seat Module (DCSM) is supplied voltage from Battery Junction Box (BJB) fuse
67 (40A) to C3265A pin E, circuits SBB08 (VT/RD) and C3265A pin F, circuit SBB08 (VT/RD). The DCSM
is supplied ground from C3265A pin M, circuit GD138 (BK/WH). Both voltage supply circuits are hot at all
times, but the climate controlled seat system only operates with the engine running. The system can be
operated with the ignition ON engine OFF by using a scan tool to bypass the climate controlled seat switches
on the HVAC module and when commanding a heat or cool mode operation in this manner will only operate
in 15-second intervals. Both voltage supply circuits are spliced together internal to the DCSM , so if one
circuit becomes open, both seats can still be operated. However, if a fault occurs setting a DTC specific to
either climate controlled seat, only the affected seat will be disabled by the DCSM .
The DCSM receives all control commands over the Controller Area Network (CAN) communication circuits
from the HVAC module which contains the climate controlled seat switches. The climate controlled seat
system can only operate if both the HVAC and DCSM are communicating correctly on the CAN circuits.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 08/12/2010
The power window system will operate if the ignition switch is in the RUN or ACC position, or the delayed
accessory feature is active.
Passenger windows may be raised or lowered using the LF master control switches or the appropriate
passenger window switch. Passenger window switches receive power when the delayed accessory relay is
active and the LF remote lock-out switch is in the UNLOCK position. When in the LOCK-OUT position, the
passenger windows are deactivated (Expedition only). When in the lock-out position, the rear windows are
deactivated (Navigator only).
NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) may also be identified as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).
The accessory delay relay, located in the SJB , provides power for the operation of the power windows and
the roof opening panel (if equipped). For Expedition (LF window only) and Navigator (LF and RF windows),
the accessory delay relay provides a low current signal to allow window movement. The accessory delay relay
is active when the ignition switch is in the RUN or the ACC position, or when the ignition switch is changed
from RUN or ACC to the OFF/LOCK position and the LF and RF doors are closed.
the LF door is ajar and the ignition switch is in the OFF/LOCK or KEY-OUT position.
the RF door is ajar and the ignition switch is in the OFF/LOCK or KEY-OUT position.
10 minutes have elapsed since the ignition switch was changed from ACC or RUN to the OFF/LOCK
position.
Feature inputs:
LF door open warning switch (open circuit with door closed, grounded with door ajar)
RF door open warning switch (open circuit with door closed, grounded with door ajar)
Ignition switch RUN position (battery potential on both the RUN and RUN/ACC inputs)
Ignition switch ACC position (battery potential on the RUN/ACC input)
Ignition switch OFF/LOCK position (absence of battery potential on the RUN, RUN/ACC and
START inputs)
Feature outputs:
Accessory delay relay (grounded when activated, open circuit when deactivated)
The HVAC module controls the state of the rear window defrost relay. When the rear window defrost switch
(integral to the HVAC module) is pressed, the HVAC module will activate the rear window defrost relay.
When the rear window defrost relay is active, both the rear window defrost grid and heated mirror elements
will be energized.
The HVAC module will deactivate the rear window defrost relay when one of the following conditions is met:
The rear window defrost switch is pressed when the feature is active
Ignition switch state is changed from RUN to OFF/LOCK
The 10 minute timing function is completed
Feature inputs:
Ignition switch RUN position (12V on both RUN and RUN/ACC inputs)
Rear window defrost switch (momentary contact to ground when switch is pressed)
Feature outputs:
Rear window defrost relay control (grounded when activated, open circuit when deactivated)

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Procedure revision date: 08/12/2010
Special Tool(s)
Test Light
SGT27000 or equivalent 250-300 mA
incandescent bulb test lamp
Vehicle Communication Module (VCM)
and integrated diagnostic system (IDS)
software with appropriate adapters, or
equivalent scan tool
Principles of Operation
NOTE: On Expedition, only the LF window has one-touch up/down feature, however functionality is
identical to Navigator LF window.
NOTE: The LF and RF window motors are not on the multiplex link.
The LF and RF window motors have 8 pins and contain integral electronics. The master window control
switch sends 3 separate signals to the LF or RF window motor (the passenger window control switch sends 3
separate signals to the RF window motor only): up, down and auto. The master window control switch or
passenger window control switch provides a 12-volt signal to the motor to request an up or down operation.
When auto up or auto down are requested, the window control switch provides a 12-volt signal on the up or
down line and a ground signal on the auto line simultaneously. The up, down and auto contacts are floating
within the front control switches (LF, RF) when the switches are in the neutral position. The LF and RF
window motors pull the up and down inputs to ground and the auto input to 12 volts when the wire harness is
connected to the motor and signals are not being provided by the window switches. The up, down and auto
feeds to the motor are all low current.
The window motor plastic pinion gear is mated to the drum housing of a dual rail drum and cable window
regulator. The motor is attached to the drum housing (plastic) by 3 screws. The motor uses internal Hall-effect
sensor feedback coupled to the microprocessor to determine window position and operate the window. If the
Hall-effect pulses are not being received by the microprocessor, the motor will run for approximately
one-tenth second each switch press. The motor contains a thermal breaker to protect the motor windings from
overcurrent/overtemperature operation. Continued successive operation of the motor will cause the thermal
breaker to open, causing a loss of function until the motor cools.
The window motor operates with the ignition switch in the RUN/ACC positions only (and delayed accessory)
and is sensed via the delayed accessory input. The motor is supplied with B+ power and draws a key-off load
During an auto up or auto down function, movement of the window can be stopped by actuating the switch to
any position (up, down, auto up, auto down). The switch must then be released before the window will carry
out the next commanded movement.
When an obstacle has been detected in the window opening as the window is moving upward, the window
will automatically reverse direction and move toward the fully open position (in both up and one-touch up
modes). This is known as "bounce-back". Once the window stops at its bounce-back position, and within 2
seconds the switch is released, then held in the auto up position, the window will travel up with no
bounce-back protection (security override). If the switch is released before the window reaches fully closed,
the window will stop with bounce-back automatically re-enabled for the next window up movement. If the
ignition switch is turned to OFF or START (without delayed accessory), the window will stop. The only
exception is when an obstacle is detected while delayed accessory is lost. In this case the window will bounce
back, then stop. Ice, contaminant buildup and environmentally induced tight spots in the window seals are all
possible uses for the security override feature.
If an obstruction occurs between 4 mm (0.15 in) and 200 mm (7.87 in) of window opening, the bounce-back
position will be 250 mm (9.84 in) of window opening. If an obstruction occurs at a position greater than 200
mm (7.87 in) of window opening, the bounce-back position will be 50 mm (1.96 in) below where the
obstruction occurred.
The LF and RF window motor will retain its initialization (memory) if power (B+) is removed while the
window is not in motion. If power (B+) is disconnected from the LF or RF window motor while the window
is in motion, the motor will enter position recovery mode when power is restored (auto up and auto down
functions are disabled). Position recovery mode allows down (and up) movement of the window until the
window motor stalls the window glass in the full DOWN position. If no internal or external faults are present,
the motor will automatically resume normal (full) operation.
The master window control switch and passenger window control switch are supplied with illumination power
and illumination ground inputs used to illuminate the switch when the headlamp switch is turned to the PARK
or ON position (the AUTOLAMP position may also energize this input). These switch inputs do not directly
affect operation of the LF or RF window. The master window control switch and passenger window control
switch use the delayed accessory power input which is transferred to the up or down outputs via closing of a
switch contact. The master window control switch and passenger window control switch each have separate
ground switch inputs which are transferred to the auto output via closing of a switch contact. If the delayed
accessory feed to the window control switch is missing, none of the windows will function. If the master
window control switch ground signal is missing, the auto functions will be inoperative and the LR and RR
windows will also be inoperative. The RF window auto functions will still operate correctly from the
passenger window control switch as long as the ground feed to that switch is present.
If the window control switch, or its associated wiring, develops an open circuit, that function will become
inoperative. If the up contact or associated wiring develops an open circuit, the window will only move down
or one-touch down. If the down contact or associated wiring develops an open circuit, the window will only
move up or one-touch up. If the auto contact or associated wiring develops an open circuit, the window will
only move up or down.
The window motor will suspend window operation if a switch error exists. A switch error is defined as up and
down, auto without up or down, or up and down and auto energized at the same time. The window will appear
to be inoperative if a switch error is present.
A new LF or RF window motor will not function in one-touch up or one-touch down mode prior to
initialization. The motor will respond to an up or down switch actuation only and bounce-back is disabled. If
the switch is actuated to the auto UP or auto DOWN position and released, window movement will stop when
the up or down contact in the master window control switch or passenger window control switch is released.
If the window motor is removed from the window regulator drum housing, or if a new window motor is
installed, the window motor must be initialized. Refer to Window Motor Initialization in the General
Procedures portion of this section.
The window motor will automatically adjust to system changes throughout its life: changes in seal drag and
slight changes in the fully OPEN position will occur and are automatically compensated for. Once initialized,
for the most part, the window motor will soft stall into the lower position contributing to extended durability
of the system. If the window does not seal completely in the full UP position, the window switch can be
actuated to the UP position and the window will be energized long enough to fully seal. If the window does
not travel fully down, the window switch can be activated to the DOWN position and the window will be
energized long enough to travel to the full DOWN position. In both cases, the new positions will be learned.
When the rear window defrost switch is pressed, the HVAC module will activate the rear window defrost
relay located in the Battery Junction Box (BJB). When the rear window defrost relay is active, the rear
window defrost grid will be energized.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical and electrical damage. Refer to the following chart:

1. Using a bright lamp in the vehicle, inspect the wire grid from the exterior. A broken grid wire will
appear as a brown spot.
2. Run the engine at idle. Set the heated rear window switch to ON. The indicator light should come on.
3. Working in the vehicle with a voltmeter, contact the broad red-brown stripes of the rear glass window
positive lead to battery side and the negative lead to ground side. The meter should read 10-13 volts.
A lower voltage reading indicates a loose ground connection.
4. Contact a good ground point with the negative lead of the meter. The voltage reading should not
change.
5. With the negative lead of the meter grounded, touch each grid line of the heated rear window glass at
its midpoint with the positive lead. A reading of approximately 6 volts indicates the line is good. A
reading of 0 volt indicates the line is broken between the midpoint and the B+ side of the grid line. A
reading of 12 volts indicates the circuit is broken between the midpoint of the grid line and ground.
6. Pinpointing the exact position of the break can be accomplished (if the voltmeter reads 0 volt
when the midpoint of the grid line is touched with the positive lead of the voltmeter) by
moving the positive lead of the voltmeter toward the B+ side of the grid line and touching the
grid line until the voltmeter reads 12 volts. If the voltmeter reads 12 volts when the midpoint
of the grid line is touched with the positive lead of the voltmeter, simply move the positive

SECTION 501-11: Glass, Frames and Mechanisms 2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
GENERAL PROCEDURES Procedure revision date: 08/12/2010
NOTE: Initialization is required to learn both the full UP and full DOWN positions and the profile of the
glass as it travels through the glass channel. Once initialized, obstacle detection is enabled. This procedure is
only required for Navigator (LF and RF) or Expedition (LF only) window motors.
NOTE: The window motor must be initialized whenever: the motor is removed from window regulator drum
housing, a new motor is installed, a new window regulator is installed, new window glass is installed, glass
top run removal or installation is carried out or when carrying out any operation in which grease or lubricants
are applied to the window system. All window components (window glass, window regulator, window motor
and glass top run) must be installed and tightened to specification before carrying out this procedure. Refer to
the De-Initialization Procedure in this section prior to performing the window motor initialization (unless a
new motor is being installed).
NOTE: A new (or de-initialized) LF/RF (Navigator) or LF (Expedition) window motor will not operate in
one-touch up mode until initialized. If a new LF/RF window motor has been installed, proceed to the Window
Motor Initialization procedure in this section.
NOTE: Excessive bounce-back (window reverses direction with no obstructions present) may indicate that a
de-initialization procedure may need to be performed.
De-Initialization Procedure
1. Start with the ignition key in the RUN position and open one front door.
3. Press the window control switch to the one-touch DOWN position (second detent) and release.
WARNING: Keep objects and body parts clear of the glass panel when carrying out the
initialization procedure. During the initialization procedure, the glass panel closes with high force and
cannot detect objects in its path. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
4. Start with the ignition key in the OFF position and with the LF/RF door open.
6. Activate and hold the window control switch in the one-touch DOWN position (second detent) until
the window glass stalls for 2 seconds at the bottom of its travel and release the switch.
7. NOTE: After performing this step, wait a minimum of 3 seconds before operating the window control
switch or ignition switch.
Activate and hold the window control switch (with no interruptions) in the one-touch UP position
(second detent) until the window glass stalls for 2 seconds into the glass top run and release the
switch.
8. Verify correct operation of the window by carrying out the one-touch up and one-touch down
features. If the window does not operate correctly, carefully repeat this procedure.

NOTE: The grid line material is not embedded into the glass, but is baked to the glass surface and
consequently can be scraped off. An undamaged grid line will have small ridges that project above the surface
of the glass and can easily be felt when running a fingernail across them. Grid lines that have been "razor
bladed" will feel smooth when a fingernail is dragged across the affected area. Inoperative lines may appear to
the eye to be undamaged due to residue remaining on the glass and will require diagnosis with a voltmeter or
12V test lamp. For additional information, refer to Diagnosis and Testing in this section.
2. NOTICE: Do not use scrapers, sharp instruments or abrasive window cleaners on the interior
surface of the rear window glass as this may cause damage to the grid lines.
Clean the entire grid line repair area with glass cleaner and 0000 steel wool to remove all dirt, wax,
grease, oil or other foreign material.
3. Mark the location of the grid break on the exterior of the rear window glass.
4. Using a polypropylene film fine line tape, mask the area directly above and below the grid break
extending the tape 26 mm (1.02 in) beyond the concern area in both directions. The break area should
be at the center of the mask.
5. NOTE: If the brown layer is not broken or missing, apply only the silver grid repair compound to the
break. If both the brown and silver layers of the grid are broken or missing, apply a coating of the
lacquer touch up paint across the break in the grid line prior to applying the rear window defroster
repair compound. Do not overlap the silver grid line with the paint. Several applications may be
necessary to achieve a color match.
NOTE: Allow at least 5 minutes of drying time between applications for the touch up paint or the
silver repair coating. Applying fewer coats or not allowing adequate drying time between coats will
produce repaired resistance that is greater than OEM resistance, resulting in poor defrost performance
and excessive localized heating.
Apply the repair coating to the grid break area in several smooth, continuous strokes. Extend the
silver repair coating at least 6.35 mm (0.25 in) on both sides of the break area.
Apply a minimum of 6 applications of the grid repair compound.
6. NOTE: The repair coating air-dries in approximately one minute and can be energized after 5
minutes. Optimum adhesion occurs after approximately 24 hours.
Allow the repair area to dry completely and remove the mask.
7. NOTICE: Be careful not to damage the grid line with the razor blade. If this occurs, additional
repair may be necessary.
Remove any excess repair compound above or below the grid line with a razor blade.
8. NOTE: The interior side of the grid lines are not painted, but due to the silver tarnishing will tend to
change the grid to a gold or brown color. The repair area will be bright silver and will also tarnish
over time to match the rest of the grid.

2. NOTE: The new terminal will cover the original terminal location, but it must be placed so that the
terminal conductive areas will be placed on a good conductive base.
Clean the bus bar in the area to be repaired with steel wool (000 to 0000 grade), and then with glass
cleaner to remove all dirt, wax, grease, oil or other foreign material.
3. NOTICE: Do not use any type of flame torch or flame-heated soldering gun for this procedure.
Use of these tools provide inadequate heat generation at the tip and the exhaust heat can cause
damage to plastic trim parts in the area. Use only an electric soldering gun with 100 watts or
more of power. Before using the soldering gun, be sure to melt a small amount of rosin core
solder to the tip. The solder will assist in achieving better heat transfer from the soldering gun
tip to the new terminal.
NOTE: Depending on the original terminal location, and whether the terminal is covered by pillar
trim, will determine where to locate the new terminal. Some grid line bus bars may only allow the
placement of the terminal above or below the original tab location due to space limitations. For most
vehicle ications, the replacement tab location will cover the original tab location, but still allow the
replacement tab to attach to the bus bar on good conductive material.
Place the replacement terminal type A over the original tab location, making sure the conductive areas
of the terminal will be on a good conductive area. Do not place the terminal tab foot on the original
location, which does not have conductive material.
4. Hold the terminal in place with an item such as a regular lead pencil at a 90 degree angle from the
terminal. (Holding at other than a 90 degree angle may allow the terminal to slip when the solder
liquefies.)
5. NOTE: The new terminal has pre-applied solder, flux and temperature-sensitive paint. The paint
provides a visual indication when the terminal has reached the correct temperature to melt solder on
the terminal. When the correct temperature is achieved, the temperature paint will liquefy and change
color.
Place the soldering gun tip on the top of the terminal, but not on the painted areas of the tab. Energize
the soldering gun and watch for the painted area of the terminal to liquefy and change color. The paint
should liquefy in approximately 25-45 seconds after heating. As soon as the paint color completely
changes on either side of the terminal, de-energize the soldering gun and continue to hold the terminal
in place with the soldering gun and pencil for an additional 30 seconds.
6. Remove the soldering gun and pencil from the terminal. The terminal should be allowed to cool for
another 2 minutes before the wiring lead is attached to the terminal.
7. Attach the electrical lead connection to this terminal, turn on the heated rear window and verify the
operation.

Power Lock/Unlock
The power lock/unlock feature requests all of the vehicle doors locked or unlocked upon a customer request
from either interior door lock switch in the vehicle. The power door locking system functions independently
of ignition status or vehicle speed.
Autolock
The autolock feature locks all doors when all doors, including the liftgate, are closed, the brake pedal was
pressed with the ignition switch in the ON position, and a vehicle speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) or higher is
achieved. This feature relocks the doors (when any door is opened then closed) after the brake pedal is
pressed, once all doors are read as closed, and the vehicle speed exceeds 20 km/h (12 mph). The autolock
feature can be enabled/disabled. Refer to Autolock and Auto-Unlock Programming .
Auto-Unlock
NOTE: The doors does not auto-unlock if the vehicle has been electronically locked before the driver door is
opened.
The auto-unlock feature unlocks all the doors when the ignition is in the RUN position, all the doors are
closed, and the vehicle has been in motion at a speed greater than 20 km/h (12 mph), the vehicle then comes
to a stop and the ignition is switched to LOCK or ACC, and the driver's door is opened within 10 minutes of
the ignition being switched to LOCK or ACC. The auto-unlock feature can be enabled/disabled. Refer to
Autolock and Auto-Unlock Programming .
Smart Unlock
The smart unlock feature prevents the driver door from locking with the key in the ignition lock cylinder.
When the SJB receives a lock command from a door lock control switch with the key in the ignition lock
cylinder and the driver door open, the SJB commands all the doors to unlock.
The vehicle can still be locked by locking the doors with the push button rods, the door lock cylinder or an
RKE command from an Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) or the keyless entry keypad.
The RKE system uses an IKT . The IKT incorporates both the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) functions
and the RKE transmitter functions in a single device.
The RKE transmitter is programmed automatically during PATS programming. During PATS programming,
the Instrument Cluster (IC) obtains the Transmitter Identification Code (TIC) from the IKT and sends the TIC
data over the Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) to the SJB .
The SJB accepts programming of up to 4 IKTs . In addition to the IKTs , 4 conventional keyfobs can also be
programmed to the vehicle if requested by the customer. For information on programming the IKTs , refer to
Key Programming Using Two Programmed Keys or Integrated Keyhead Transmitter (IKT) Key Programming
Using Diagnostic Equipment in Section 419-01B . Refer to Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) Transmitter
Programming in this section for keyfob programming information.
The RKE feature provides lock/unlock functions independently of ignition status, vehicle speed, or
transmission position. The RKE feature provides a 2-step process, if enabled, for unlocking the doors. Upon
receipt of the first request for unlocking the doors, the RKE feature requests the SJB to unlock the driver door
only and provides a long flash of the turn signals. If another unlock request is received within 3 seconds of the
first, the RKE feature requests that all doors be unlocked. This feature can be disabled so that all the doors
unlock on the first press of the UNLOCK button. Refer to Stepped Unlock Programming in this section for
programming information.
The RKE feature requests that all the doors be locked when the LOCK button is pressed any press of the lock
button with all doors closed, the RKE feature requests one flash of the turn signals. If any door is ajar, no flash
occurs, indicating it locked all the doors but one or more doors are ajar. As soon as the last door is closed, one
flash of the turn signals occurs. If 2 presses of the LOCK button are received within 3 seconds, the horn chirps
once, and the turn signals flash twice to indicate that all the doors are closed and locked. If any door is ajar
when the second lock request is received within 3 seconds of the first, the RKE feature requests the horn chirp
twice without flashing the turn signals to indicate it locked all the doors, but one or more doors are ajar. When
the key is in the RUN or START position, no turn signals flashes or horn chirp confirmations occur.
The RKE feature provides liftgate glass release function (vehicles without power liftgate only) independently
of key position. The liftgate glass release button must be pressed twice within 3 seconds for the liftgate glass
to release.
The RKE feature provides a power liftgate open/close function independently of key position. The power
liftgate button must be pressed twice within 3 seconds for the power liftgate to open or close.
Panic Alarm
The panic alarm feature controls activation of the panic alarm, providing audible and visual alarms that are
evident from the exterior of the vehicle. The panic alarm feature requests that the turn signals and horn are
flashed until deactivation. The flashing of the outputs occurs at the same time. Activation of the panic alarm is
accomplished by pressing the PANIC button on an IKT whenever the key is in the OFF or ACC position. At
all other times this feature is disabled. Deactivation of an active panic alarm is accomplished by:
The RKE feature provides a memory seat feature. Up to 2 RKE transmitters can be associated with memory
settings. When the unlock button on an RKE transmitter is pressed, the driver seat, adjustable steering
column, adjustable pedals, and exterior mirrors move to the desired memory position (the seat, steering
column, adjustable pedals and mirror position correspond to the RKE transmitter being used). This feature can
be enabled/disabled. Refer to Remote Memory Activation and Remote Memory Deactivation in this section
for programming information.
The keyless entry keypad (if equipped), located on the exterior of the driver door, provides a method for the
customer to access the vehicle without a key or an RKE transmitter. The keyless entry keypad feature:
The keyless entry keypad feature operates independently of ignition status, vehicle speed, or transmission
position. The keypad is inoperative when the driver door is ajar. When a keypad button is pressed, the keypad
buttons illuminate to provide better visibility. If the 7/8 and 9/0 buttons are pressed or 5 seconds have elapsed
since the last button press, the illumination is turned off.
Each vehicle equipped with a keyless entry keypad is programmed with a 5-digit entry code. This code is
provided to the customer on a wallet card in the Owner's Literature package. In addition, this code is available
through a scan tool and printed on the SJB label. When entering codes, each digit must be entered within 5
seconds of the previous button press. In addition to the factory set code, up to 3 personal codes can be
programmed. Refer to Keyless Entry Keypad Code Programming in this section for programming
information.
Anti-Scan Feature
To provide added security, the keyless entry keypad is disabled for 1 minute after pressing any of the buttons
35 times without a valid entry code being entered. The keypad flashes during this 1-minute mode with all
functionality disabled except for buttons 7/8 and 9/0 still being allowed to lock the vehicle.
To unlock the driver door (stepped unlock enabled), enter either the factory set code or the personal code
(each digit must be pressed within 5 seconds of the prior digit). This illuminates the interior lamps.
To unlock all doors, enter either the factory set code or the personal code (driver door unlocks) and press the
3/4 button within 5 seconds. If the stepped unlock is disabled, all the doors unlocks upon the entry of the
factory set or personal code. Refer to Stepped Unlock Programming in this section for programming
information.
To unlatch the liftgate glass, enter either the factory set code or the personal code (each digit must be pressed
within 5 seconds of the prior digit) and press the 5/6 button within 5 seconds.
It is not necessary to enter the factory set or personal code prior to locking all doors. To lock all doors, press
the 7/8 and 9/0 buttons at the same time with the driver door closed.
To release the liftgate glass, enter the factory set code or a personal code and press the 5/6 button within 5
seconds.
The keypad provides a memory seat feature. The feature is associated with personal codes and positions the
driver seat, adjustable steering column, adjustable pedals and exterior mirrors to the Driver 1 or Driver 2
memory setting. Refer to Keyless Entry Keypad Code Programming in this section for programming
information.

Principles of Operation
NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also known as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).
The SJB receives inputs and delivers outputs to many of the electronically controlled features of the vehicle.
The SJB constantly monitors the system and reports a concern in the form of a DTC.
Power Locks
The SJB monitors the door lock control switches. When the SJB receives an unlock/lock command from
either door lock control switch, the SJB energizes a relay (internal to the SJB ) to supply the correct power
and grounds for the door lock actuators.
The SJB monitors the liftgate release switch and the liftgate glass release switch. The doors must be unlocked
electronically in order for the SJB to release the liftgate latch or the liftgate glass latch. When this condition is
met and the SJB receives a request from the liftgate release switch or the liftgate glass release switch, the SJB
provides power to the corresponding latch release motor.
The RKE transmitter supplies a signal to the SJB when any button is pressed. The SJB then supplies voltage
to the appropriate door lock actuator(s) to lock or unlock the doors. The RKE transmitter can also be used to
release the liftgate glass (vehicles without power liftgate) or release the power liftgate. The RKE transmitter
can also be used to activate the panic alarm. On vehicles with memory, the RKE transmitter also causes the
SJB to send a Medium Speed Controller Area Network (MS-CAN) message to the Driver Seat Module (DSM)
to activate all memory features to the positions associated with the RKE transmitter being used.
The keyless entry keypad is hardwired to the SJB . The SJB interprets the inputs from the keyless entry
keypad and then controls the associated operation. The keyless entry keypad is illuminated for 5 seconds
when any button is pressed. The SJB requests the illuminated entry feature to turn the interior lamps on when
a valid entry code is received. If a lock all doors code is entered, the illuminated entry feature turns off.
NOTE: The keyless entry keypad does not lock the doors if the driver door is ajar.
The keyless entry keypad supplies a signal to the SJB when the buttons are pressed. The SJB then supplies
voltage to the appropriate door lock actuator(s) to lock or unlock the doors. The keyless entry keypad can also
be used to release the liftgate glass. On vehicles with memory, the keyless entry keypad also causes the SJB to
send an MS-CAN message to the DSM to activate all memory features to the positions associated with the
personal entry code entered in on the keypad.
Field-Effect Transistor (FET) is a type of transistor that when used with module software can be used to
monitor and control current flow on module outputs. The FET protection strategy is used to prevent module
damage in the event of excessive current flow.
The SJB utilizes a FET protective circuit strategy for many of its outputs (for example, a headlamp output
circuit). Output loads (current level) are monitored for excessive current (typically short circuits) and are shut
down (turns off the voltage or ground provided by the module) when a fault event is detected. A continuous
DTC is stored at the fault event and a cumulative counter is started.
When the demand for the output is no longer present, the module resets the FET circuit protection to allow the
circuit to function. The next time the driver requests a circuit to activate that has been shut down by a previous
short ( FET protection) and the circuit remains shorted, the FET protection shuts off the circuit again and the
cumulative counter advances.
When the excessive circuit load occurs often enough, the module shuts down the output until a repair
procedure is carried out. Each FET protected circuit has 3 predefined levels of short circuit tolerance based on
the harmful effect of each circuit fault on the FET and the ability of the FET to withstand it. A module
lifetime level of fault events is established based upon the durability of the FET . If the total tolerance level is
determined to be 600 fault events, the 3 predefined levels would be 200, 400 and 600 fault events.
When each tolerance level is reached, the continuous DTC that was stored on the first failure cannot be
cleared by a command to clear the continuous DTCs. The module does not allow this code to be cleared or the
circuit restored to normal operation until a successful self-test proves that the fault has been repaired. After the
self-test has successfully completed (no on-demand DTCs present), DTC B106E and the associated
continuous DTC (the DTC related to the shorted circuit) automatically clears and the circuit function returns.
When the first or second level is reached, the continuous DTC (associated with the short circuit) sets along
with DTC B106E. These DTCs can be cleared using the module on-demand self-test, then the Clear DTC
operation on the scan tool (if the on-demand test shows the fault corrected). The module never resets the fault
event counter to zero and continues to advance the fault event counter as short circuit fault events occur.
If the number of short circuit fault events reach the third level, then DTCs B106F and B1342 set along with
the associated continuous DTC. This DTC cannot be cleared and the module must be replaced.
The SJB FET protected output circuits for the handles, locks, latches and entry systems are the liftgate lock
actuator circuit CPL10 (GN/WH) and the keypad illumination circuit CPK28 (WH/GN).

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 08/12/2010
SJB
Rain sensor (if equipped)
Rain sensor bracket (if equipped)
Wipers
The wiper system is activated by the multifunction switch. The multifunction switch provides input to the
front wiper motor module to activate wash, low, high and intermittent modes. Intermittent settings are
replaced by sensitivity settings on vehicles equipped with rain sensitive wipers. The multifunction switch also
provides input to the rear wiper module to activate wash, INT 1 and INT 2 modes. The wiper motor contains
relays that are not serviceable separately. If equipped with automatic headlamps, the SJB will illuminate the
exterior lamps within 10 seconds, when the front wipers are active and the headlamp control switch is in the
AUTOLAMP position. When the wipers are turned off, the exterior lamps will remain on for 30 seconds
before turning off.
Washers
The front and rear washer system share the same washer reservoir and washer pump. The washer reservoir is
integral to the battery tray. Refer to Section 414-01 . The front and rear wiper motor integral electronics
control the direction of the washer pump to direct washer fluid to the windshield or rear window. When the
washer system is activated, the wipers will cycle 2-3 times with washer fluid, followed by one final wipe a
few seconds later to clear any remaining fluid that is dripping down from the top of the windshield.
When equipped, the rain sensitive wipers feature replaces the standard intermittent wiper feature. The
multifunction switch must be positioned to any of the 5 auto/intermittent settings to activate the rain sensitive
wipers. The lowest setting (closest to OFF) is the least sensitive to moisture. The highest setting is the most
sensitive to moisture. The windshield wipers cycle when the multifunction switch is placed into or changing
between the auto/intermittent settings. When the rain sensitive wiper feature is active, the system adjusts the
wiper speed automatically when moisture is detected on the windshield.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Procedure revision date: 04/24/2012
Special Tool(s)
Principles of Operation
NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) may also be identified as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).
The windshield wiper system consists of an integrated wiper motor and module assembly, which contains
internal washer, run/park and high/low speed relays. The windshield wiper motor and module assembly also
contains a Hall-effect sensor that is used to determine the parked position of the wiper motor during a cycle.
The integrated windshield wiper motor and module assembly has different operating modes: OFF, LOW
speed, HIGH speed, MIST, WASH INTERMITTENT, SOFTWARE SAFE mode and if equipped, automatic
wiping.
High-Speed Wipers
When the multifunction switch is set to the HIGH-speed position, it supplies ground to the high/low speed
relay coil and the run/park relay coil, which causes the windshield wiper motor to operate at high speed.
During high-speed operation only, both the high/low-speed relay coil ground and the run/park relay coil
ground are controlled directly by the multifunction switch. This differs from LOW speed or intermittent
operation when the run/park relay coil is controlled by the microprocessor. When the switch is placed in the
OFF position, the motor continues to operate until the motor returns to the PARK position and the internal
Hall-effect sensor senses the motor magnet. The output to the run/park relay deactivates the relay and
disconnects the voltage to the motor.
Since the high/low relay coil and the run/park relay coil are both controlled by a hard-wired circuit to the
multifunction switch, the windshield wipers will still operate in high-speed mode if the internal windshield
wiper module fails, but will not automatically park when the multifunction switch is turned to the OFF
position.
Low-Speed Wipers
When the multifunction switch is set to the LOW-speed position, it supplies ground to the internal wiper
motor module low-speed inputs and the wiper motor operates at low speed. During low-speed operation, the
Intermittent Wipers
When the multifunction switch is set to the intermittent position(s), it supplies ground to the wiper motor
module inputs and the wiper motor operates in intermittent mode. During intermittent operation, the wiper
motor activates the run/park relay coil which sends voltage through the high/low relay. The high/low relay
remains deactivated, supplying the voltage to the low-speed brush of the wiper motor. The wiper motor
continues to operate until the internal Hall-effect sensor senses the magnet (PARK position) and deactivates
the run/park relay, which disconnects voltage from the wiper motor. The windshield wipers remain parked
until the wiper motor module completes a time-out and then repeats the intermittent wiper cycle.
The SJB sends a voltage signal to the wiper motor module in order to monitor the status of the wipers. When
the headlamp control switch is in the AUTOLAMP position, the SJB will activate the headlamps within 10
seconds of the wipers being activated. When the SJB detects that the wipers have been turned off, the SJB will
turn off the headlamps after 30 seconds.
The rain sensitive feature replaces the intermittent wiper feature. When the rain sensitive wiper system is
active, the rain sensor sends data to the wiper motor. The wipers activate based on the amount of moisture
detected on the windshield and the setting on the multifunction switch.
The rain sensor optically senses water on the windshield. An infrared beam lights a section of the windshield.
The intensity of the reflected beam is measured and compared to the intensity of the transmitted beam. If there
is water on the surface of the windshield, the beam distorts, reducing the intensity of the beam. If the beam is
not reflected completely, it is interpreted as rain on the windshield and the windshield wipers are activated.
If a fault is detected with the rain sensor input by the windshield wiper motor, the wiper motor switches to a
default intermittent mode. The timing of the wipers correspond to a standard intermittent setting based on the
selection on the multifunction switch.
A gel-type lens is used as the interface between the rain sensor and the windshield. If the lens is missing or
damaged, the rain sensing wipers may be inoperative. If the rain sensitive wipers are inoperative and do not
default to the intermittent mode, inspect the rain sensor and confirm that the gel-type lens over the rain sensor
is undamaged.
Washer
The front and rear washer system use the same washer reservoir/battery tray and washer pump. The front and
rear wiper motor modules each contain an integral washer relay. When the windshield and rear window
washer relays are inactive, the washer relays supply a path to ground to the washer motor.
When the windshield wiper motor module receives a windshield wash signal from the multifunction switch,
the windshield wiper motor module activates its integral windshield washer relay which sends voltage to the
washer pump. The washer pump receives ground from the inactive rear window washer relay in the rear wiper
motor module.
The windshield wiper motor defaults to software safe mode when the run/park sensor does not sense the
Hall-effect magnet inside the wiper motor. This can be caused by an obstruction of the windshield wipers, a
binding linkage or loss of the Hall-effect signal. The motor continues to operate in a high/low speed condition,
and when turned off, the wipers immediately park on the windshield. If necessary, the wipers can be turned on
and off until they return to the PARK position.

Special Tool(s)
Principles of Operation
The roof opening panel assembly uses an integrated motor and module to operate the roof opening panel. The
roof opening panel motor and module are installed new as an assembly. The roof opening panel is an
electronically operated glass panel that can be opened, closed or vented by the roof opening panel switch.
The roof opening panel has a comfort stop position, which is 70 mm (2.75 in) from the full OPEN position,
and is controlled by the roof opening panel motor/module. The comfort stop position reduces wind rumbling
noise that may occur when the vehicle is operated with the roof opening panel in the full OPEN position.
When the roof opening panel is opened in either one-touch open or manual mode, it will stop at the comfort
stop position first. In manual mode, the roof opening panel can be opened to full open from comfort stop by
releasing the switch, then pressing and holding it until the roof opening panel is in the full OPEN position. In
one-touch open mode, the roof opening panel can be opened to full open from comfort stop by momentarily
pressing the slide switch.
The roof opening panel motor must be initialized when repairs are carried out on any part of the roof opening
panel system, including: whenever the roof opening panel motor has been removed from the roof opening
panel system, the roof opening panel glass has been removed from the roof opening panel system, the roof
opening panel assembly has been remofrom the vehicle, a new roof opening panel motor has been installed, a
new roof opening panel glass has been installed or a new roof opening panel assembly has been installed.

SECTION 501-20A: Safety Belt System 2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 08/12/2010
WARNING: After any crash, all of the following safety belt assemblies and attaching hardware
must be inspected to verify correct function:
Retractors
Buckles
Belt tension sensor (BTS) (if equipped)
Front safety belt buckle support assemblies (slide bar) (if equipped)
Safety belt shoulder belt height adjusters (if equipped)
Child safety seat tether bracket assemblies
Automatic locking retractor (ALR) feature for child safety seats (passenger seating positions only)
If any safety belt assembly is damaged, does not operate correctly or does not pass all of the Functional Tests
in the Component Tests of this section, a new safety belt assembly must be installed. If any safety belt
assembly attaching areas are damaged or distorted, the sheet metal must be restored to its original structural
integrity and new safety belt assembly and attaching hardware must be installed. Failure to install new safety
belt assemblies and attaching hardware may increase the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
After any crash that results in deployment of the driver and/or front outboard passenger safety belt
pretensioners, new driver and/or front outboard passenger safety belt systems (including retractors, buckles
and height adjusters) must be installed. Failure to install new safety belt systems increases the risk of serious
personal injury or death in a crash.
The safety belt retractor is designed to let the webbing move freely in and out at all times, except during
vehicle hard braking, hard cornering or an impact of 24 km/h (15 mph) or more, when it is automatically
locked by a mechanically actuated inertia sensor.
When replacing safety belt buckles and/or retractor assemblies, use only the replacement parts specified in the
Ford Catalog AdvantageTM or equivalent.
Front row safety belt buckle and pretensioners attached to the seat tracks
Front row safety belt shoulder height adjusters attached to the B-pillar sheet metal behind the trim
panels
Front row safety belt retractors attached to the B-pillar sheet metal behind the trim panels
Second row center safety belt buckle attached to the 20 percent seat base
Second row center safety belt retractor attached to the 20 percent seat backrest frame

seat
Third row outboard safety belt retractors attached to the D-pillar sheet metal behind the trim panels
Third row RH safety belt buckle attached to the 40 percent seat cushion frame
The safety belt buckle and pretensioner is a pyrotechnic device that removes excess webbing from the front
seat safety belt system. When the front air bag system is deployed, the pretensioner in the buckle deploys,
causing the buckle to move downward, pulling excess webbing from the lap and shoulder safety belts.
If the vehicle is involved in a collision that results in deployment of the front air bags and safety belt
pretensioners, the driver and passenger sea belt system (including safety belt buckle and pretensioners, safety
belt retractors and shoulder height adjusters) must be replaced.
For safety belt buckle pretensioner diagnosis and disposal information, refer to Section 501-20B .
The second row seat safety belt buckles and third row RH safety belt buckle are attached to the seat frames.
The third row LH and center safety belt buckle assembly is attached to the floor pan underneath the 60 percent
seat. All rear safety belt buckles are serviceable separately.
The safety belt retractors are a dual locking mode type and consist of the following features:
The ELR is a vehicle sensitive feature designed to activate and lock the safety belt webbing when braking
hard, cornering hard or in an impact of approximately 24 km/h (15 mph). The ELR feature helps to reduce the
forward movement of the occupants. For testing, refer to the appropriate Functional Test procedure in Safety
Belt System in this section.
The ALR mode is used when locking a child seat in an outboard seating position. The ALR mode is
automatically activated when the safety belt webbing is fully extracted from the retractor and then allowed to
retract. As the safety belt webbing is retracted back onto the spool, an audible clicking sound is made
indicating the safety belt retractor is in ALR mode and the safety belt webbing will not pull back out of the
safety belt retractor. To disengage the ALR mode, allow the safety belt webbing to fully retract back onto the
spool. The ALR mode is disengaged when the webbing is free to extract and retract back into the retractor.
When installing a dual locking mode retractor, the retractor should be checked to make sure it is not in the
ALR mode after installation in the stowed position. Refer to the appropriate Functional Test procedure in
Safety Belt System in this section.

If any safety belt assembly is damaged, does not operate correctly or does not pass all of the Functional Tests
in the Component Tests of this section, a new safety belt assembly must be installed. If any safety belt
assembly attaching areas are damaged or distorted, the sheet metal must be restored to its original structural
integrity and new safety belt assembly and attaching hardware must be installed. Failure to install new safety
belt assemblies and attaching hardware may increase the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.
After any crash that results in deployment of the driver and/or front outboard passenger safety belt
pretensioners, new driver and/or front outboard passenger safety belt systems (including retractors, buckles
and height adjusters) must be installed. Failure to install new safety belt systems increases the risk of serious
personal injury or death in a crash.
3. With the seat backrest cover and cushion positioned aside, remove the bolt and the child safety seat
tether anchor.
To install, tighten to 15 Nm (133 lb-in).
4. WARNING: Always tighten the child safety seat tether anchor/bolt to specification. Failure
to follow this instruction may result in the child's safety seat being incorrectly secured, which
increases the risk of serious personal injury or death to the child in a sudden stop or crash.
NOTE: Inspect the seat for damage. If the seat is found to be damaged, install new seat components.
5. Check the active restraint system for correct operation. For additional information, refer to the

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Procedure revision date: 04/18/2012
Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS)
Special Tool(s)
Principles of Operation
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) continuously receives/monitors all inputs from the following
Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components:
If the RCM detects sudden vehicle deceleration and/or lateral deceleration based on information received from
sensors and switches and determines that deployment is required, the RCM sends voltage and current to
deploy the appropriate SRS components.
The RCM contains an internal sensor that detects vehicle rollover angles. If the RCM determines that a
rollover condition exists and deployment is required, the RCM deploys the applicable SRS components.
During a frontal or side crash, the RCM may deploy the following SRS components, based on crash severity
and sensor input.
The fact that the safety belt bucle pretensioner(s), safety belt retractor(s) or air bags did not activate for both
front seat occupants in a crash does not mean that something is wrong with the SRS system.
The RCM carries out a self-test of the complete SRS during each startup. During normal operation, the
Instrument Cluster (IC) illuminates the air bag warning indicator continuously for 6 seconds. If the SRS is
free of faults, the air bag warning indicator turns off and remains off. If a SRS fault exists, the air bag warning
indicator illuminates and remains illuminated for the rest of the ignition cycle. In addition to the self-test at
Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) 972
2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
start up, the RCM continuously monitors all of its SRS components and circuitry for correct operation.
Because the driver and passenger front air bags each have 2 deployment stages, it is possible that stage 1 has
deployed and stage 2 has not.
If a front air bag module has deployed, the front air bag module must be remotely deployed using the
appropriate air bag disposal procedure.
For information on driver air bag module and/or passenger air bag module remote deployment, refer
to Pyrotechnic Device Disposal in this section.
is located in the IC and proves out by lighting for 6 seconds and then turns off.
flashes and/or illuminates based on the message the IC receives from the RCM .
illuminates if the IC does not receive a message from the RCM .
Clockspring
The clockspring is mounted on the steering column, behind the steering wheel and allow for continuous
electrical connections between the driver air bag module and the RCM while the steering wheel turns.
The driver air bag module is a dual-stage air bag. Upon receiving a flow of current from the RCM , it deploys
at 1 of 2 different rates depending upon vehicle impact severity and sensor input.
The purpose of the deployment event notification feature is to provide other vehicle subsystems with
information pertaining to restraint system deployment or fuel cutoff status. Signal communication between the
RCM and fuel pump control module allows the PCM to initiate fuel cut-off to disable the fuel system in the
event of a crash.
The RCM does not monitor the event notification signal circuit faults and does not set a DTC if a fault
occurs.
This vehicle utilizes a communication system called a High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN). The
RCM communicates with various modules for required information about the vehicle. For information about
the HS-CAN , refer to Section 418-00 .
Impact Sensors
Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) 973
2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
For this vehicle, the SRS uses 5 satellite sensors in addition to the RCM . The RCM is mounted to the center
tunnel. All vehicles have one front impact severity sensor located in the front-center area of the vehicle,
behind the bumper mounted on the lower radiator support. The first row impact sensors (pressure-based
sensors) are located in each of the front doors behind the trim panel, the second row sensors are located on
each C-pillar. The side impact sensors are not interchangeable between the first and second row. Mounting
orientation is critical for correct operation of all impact sensors.
The passenger air bag module is a dual-stage air bag, deploying at 1 of 2 different rates depending upon
vehicle impact severity and sensor input. It cannot be interchanged between Expedition and Navigator
vehicles.
WARNING: Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the
restraints control module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the Safety Canopy and cause serious
personal injury or death.
WARNING: If a vehicle has been in a crash, inspect the restraints control module (RCM) and the
impact sensor (if equipped) mounting areas for deformation. If damaged, restore the mounting areas to
the original production configuration. A new RCM and sensors must be installed whether or not the air
bags have deployed. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury or death
in a crash.
NOTICE: Prior to the installation of a new Restraints Control Module (RCM), it is necessary to upload
module configuration information to the scan tool. This information needs to be downloaded into the
new RCM once installed. Refer to Section 418-01 /a>.
NOTE: This vehicle may be equipped with the SYNC feature which contains the 911 assist option. Refer to
the Owner's Literature.
NOTE: Carrying out Programmable Module Installation (PMI) does not enable the 911 assist option that is
disabled. The RCM and Accessory Protocol Interface Module (APIM) must be configured correctly to fully
support 911 assist functionality.
NOTE: When a new PCM is installed, the air bag warning indicator will illuminate when the ignition switch
is ON. The warning indicator will remain on until PCM configuration is restored. Clear the RCM DTCs.
Refer to Section 303-14 .
The RCM monitors the SRS for possible faults. If a fault is detected, the RCM requests the IC to illuminate
Air Bag and Safety Belt Pretensioner Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) 974
2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
the air bag warning indicator. When the ignition is turned OFF and then ON, the IC proves out the air bag
warning indicator by lighting for 6 seconds. If no faults are detected by the RCM , the IC turns the air bag
warning indicator off and it remains off. If the RCM detects a fault, it sends a message to the IC to turn the air
bag warning indicator on and it remains on for the rest of the ignition cycle. If the RCM requests illumination
of the air bag warning indicator and the air bag warning indicator does not function, the IC automatically
activates an audible chime.
The RCM includes a backup power supply. This feature provides sufficient backup power to deploy the air
bags in the event that the ignition circuit is lost or damaged during impact. The backup power supply depletes
its stored energy approximately one minute after power and/or ground is removed from the RCM .
The safety belt buckle pretensioners remove excess slack from the safety belt webbing. The pretensioners are
activated by the RCM when the module detects a crash event force exceeding a programmed limit.
The safety belt buckles are comprised of integrated circuits called Hall-effect switches. The safety belt buckle
switches indicate to the RCM whether the safety belts are buckled or unbuckled.
The RCM also communicates the driver safety belt buckle switch status to the IC , which monitors the
information to control the safety belt warning indicator. For information on the safety belt warning indicator,
refer to Section 413-01 .
WARNING: Anytime the Safety Canopy or side air curtain module has deployed, a new headliner
and new A-, B-, C- and D-pillar upper trim panels and attaching hardware must be installed. Remove
any other damaged components and hardware and install new components and hardware as needed.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in the Safety Canopy or side air curtain module
deploying incorrectly and increases the risk of serious personal injury or death in a crash.

2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
The seat track position sensor indicates to the RCM the position of the driver seat along the seat track . The
sensor detects the presence of a shunt bracket on the track, indicating that the seat has moved forward beyond
a certain point of adjustment. The RCM uses this information (and other information) in determining the
deployment rate of the dual-stage driver air bag module.
The secondary air bag warning chime is an audible chime located in and controlled by the IC . Ifa fault is
detected with the air bag warning indicator, a DTC is stored in the IC memory. Upon receiving the message
from the RCM that a SRS fault has been detected, the IC sounds the secondary air bag warning chime in a
pattern of 5 sets of 5 beeps.
1. Verify the customer concern by checking the air bag warning indicator in the Instrument Cluster (IC).
Refer to Prove Out the System in this section.
2. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical or electrical damage. Do not disconnect electrical
connectors until directed to do so within the pinpoint test.

8. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, go to the Restraints Control Module (RCM) DTC
Chart. For all other DTCs, refer to Section 419-10 .
DTC Charts
The DTCs can be retrieved from the Restraints Control Module (RCM) with a scan tool via the Data Link
Connector (DLC).
NOTE: Always make sure the correct Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) component is being installed.
Parts released for other vehicles may not be compatible even if they appear physically similar. Check the part
number listed in the Ford Catalog AdvantageTM or equivalent to make sure the correct component is being
installed. If an incorrect SRS component is installed, DTCs may set.
NOTE: Network DTCs (U-codes) are often a result of intermittent concerns such as damaged wiring or low
battery voltage occurrences. Additionally, vehicle repair procedures such as module reprogramming often set
network DTCs. Replacing a module to resolve a network DTC Is unlikely to resolve the concern. To prevent
repeat network DTC concerns, Inspect all network wiring, especially connectors. Test the vehicle battery,
refer to Section 414-01 .
NOTE: This module utilizes a 5-character DTC followed by a 2-character failure type code. The failure type
code provides information about specific fault conditions such as opens or shorts to ground. Continuous
Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes (CMDTCs) have an additional 2-character DTC status code suffix to
assist in determining DTC history.

Normal Operation
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) continuously monitors the driver air bag module stage 1 circuits for
the following faults:
If a fault is detected, the RCM stores DTC B0001:11, B0001:12, B0001:13 or B0001:1A in memory and
sends a message to the Instrument Cluster (IC) to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.
The RCM analyzes the deployment loop resistance to determine if a fault exists. The value displayed in the
PID is the deployment loop resistance measured by the RCM . If the value displayed is lower or higher than
the desired range (refer to diagram below), the RCM can set a DTC. As the deployment loop resistance drifts
farther outside the desired range, the chance for a DTC increases. Small variations in resistance can occur due
to the effect of road vibrations on terminal fit. Crimps and terminals can be affected by stress and harness
movement and can cause an increase in resistance due to wire strain. These variables can result in an
intermittent fault. For this reason, the test requires the PID value to be within the desired range before the fault
is considered repaired, regardless if the module is reporting an on-demand DTC at the time of diagnosis.
Following this direction helps make sure that minor changes in resistance do not create a repeat concern. This
test uses process of elimination to diagnose each part of the deployment loop circuit including:

WARNING: Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the
restraints control module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of the Safety Canopy and cause serious
personal injury or death.
WARNING: Never probe the electrical connectors on air bag, Safety Canopy or side air curtain
modules. Failure to follow this instruction may result in the accidental deployment of these modules,
which increases the risk of serious personal injury or death.
NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) from the Flex Probe Kit when taking measurements. Failure
to use the correct probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
NOTE: Most faults are due to connector and/or wiring concerns. Carry out a thorough inspection and
verification before proceeding with the pinpoint test. /p>
NOTE: Only disconnect or reconnect Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) components when
instructed to do so within a pinpoint test step. Failure to follow this instruction may result in incorrect
diagnosis of the SRS .
NOTE: Always make sure the correct SRS component is being installed. Parts released for other vehicles
may not be compatible even if they appear physically similar. Check the part number listed in the Ford
Catalog AdvantageTM or equivalent to make sure the correct component is being installed. If an incorrect
SRS component is installed, DTCs may set.
NOTE: The SRS must be fully operational and free of faults before releasing the vehicle to the customer.

Were any RCM DTCs retrieved on-demand during self-test?
Normal Operation
The Restraints Control Module (RCM) continuously monitors the driver air bag module stage 2 and circuits
for the following faults:
If a fault is detected, the RCM stores DTC B0002:11, B0002:12, B0002:13 or B0002:1A in memory and
sends a message to the Instrument Cluster (IC) to illuminate the air bag warning indicator.
The RCM analyzes the deployment loop resistance to determine if a fault exists. The value displayed in the
PID is the deployment loop resistance measured by the RCM . If the value displayed is lower or higher than
the desired range (refer to diagram below), the RCM can set a DTC. As the deployment loop resistance drifts
farther outside the desired range, the chance for a DTC increases. Small variations in resistance can occur due
to the effect of road vibrations on terminal fit. Crimps and terminals can be affected by stress and harness
movement and can cause an increase in resistance due to wire strain. These variables can result in an
intermittent fault. For this reason, the test requires the PID value to be within the desired range before the fault
is considered repaired, regardless if the module is reporting an on-demand DTC at the time of diagnosis.
Following this direction helps make sure that minor changes in resistance do not create a repeat concern. This
test uses process of elimination to diagnose each part of the deployment loop circuit including:
Wiring
Connections
Clockspring
Driver air bag module
RCM
WARNING: Do not handle, move or change the original horizontal mounting position of the
restraints control module (RCM) while the RCM is connected and the ignition switch is ON. Failure to

Several considerations will determine viability of plastic repair procedure(s):
Several types of plastic are in use for automotive application. However, all plastics will fall into 2 primary
categories of thermoplastic or thermosetting plastic.
Thermosetting Plastic
Generally, thermosetting plastics are made with 2-part thermosetting resins. When mixed together, heat is
generated, producing a cure that is irreversible. Because of this, thermosetting plastics will require the use of a
2-part adhesive for repair.
Sheet-Molded Composite (SMC) p>Sheet-Molded Composite (SMC) is a type of thermosetting plastic that uses
glass fibers or nylon fibers in combination with thermosetting polyester resins. When fully cured, SMC is strong
and rigid.
SMC is similar to, but not identical to, fiberglass. Ford Motor Company uses SMC in components such as
fenders, hoods and liftgates.
Thermoplastic Compounds
Thermoplastic compounds are manufactured by a process that is reversible. Thermoplastics can be remolded
repeatedly by reheating. This characteristic of thermoplastics makes plastic welding a possible repair
alternative. A repair of thermoplastic compounds is still possible through the use of 2-part adhesive and filler
repair materials and reinforcements as needed. Thermoplastics are widely used in interior trim components,
wheel flares, body side cladding and bumper covers.
Polyolefin
Polyolefins fall into the family of thermoplastics with one unique characteristic, an oily or waxy feel to the
material when sanded or ground. Polyolefin lends itself very well to remolding through the use of heat.
bumper covers.
fan shrouds.
wheel housings.
Correct identification of the various types of plastic is necessary to select the appropriate repair method(s) to
carry out high quality plastic repairs. Refer to Plastics Identification in this section.

Sealers
WARNING: Always refer to Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) when handling chemicals and wear
protective equipment as directed. Examples may include but are not limited to respirators and
chemically resistant gloves. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
The correct sealing of joints is essential to repairing the vehicle correctly. Sealers are used to prevent wind
noise, water leaks, exhaust fumes and dust from entering the vehicle. They also provide anti-corrosion
barriers. Sealers are applied to areas such as door and rear compartment hem flanges, wheelhouse, quarter
outer, floor, cowl, roof and other panel-to-panel attaching points. The following joint sealers are
recommended for use depending upon the application:
Brushable Seam Sealer - A sealer intended to restore the original brushed seam appearance. It is used
to seal lap joints in sheet metal that are spot welded (for example, floorpans and cowls). Use a product
obtained locally.
Roof Ditch Sealer - A self-leveling sealer used for drip rails, roof seams, quarter panels to rear deck
and for water leaks.
Seam Sealer - Heavy-bodied, non-sag adhesive/sealer for use on standing cosmetic seams, truck bed
seams, tooled door skin seams and floor pans. Also used for water leaks and noise concerns.
Sealers should remain flexible after curing and must be paintable. Follow the manufacturer's directions for
correct application of these materials.
Any damage to originally sealed joints should be repaired by resealing. Along with attaching points of new
panels, open joints that require bridging of sealer to close a gap should be sealed using a heavy-bodied sealer.

NOTICE: Mastic is made of a combustible material and should be removed prior to carrying out
welding procedures to the area. Heat zones from welding near the mastic can cause the mastic material
to burn.
NOTICE: Corrosion protection must be restored to the area AFTER the mastic material is applied.
Corrosion protection products may be wax based and loss of adhesion may occur.
NOTE: The following illustrations serve as a reference to indicate mastic patch (butyl pad) locations.
Additional insulators and sound deadeners are used beyond those indicated in the illustration.
NOTE: To restore the vehicle to design intent, missing or damaged sound deadeners and insulators should be
replaced with the correct service replacement component.
1. NOTE: In applications where mastic material is applied as a pumpable material at the factory,
replacement of missing or damaged mastic is acceptable in the form of cut-to-fit butyl pad(s) or
pumpable mastic material(s) when carrying out repairs.
Whenever replacement of an existing mastic insulator is carried out, the surface must be thoroughly
cleaned to make sure correct adhesion will occur. The surface should be 10C (50F) or greater before
applying the mastic. The use of a heat gun to warm the metal surface will aid in adhesion.

WARNING: Invisible ultraviolet and infrared rays emitted in welding can injure unprotected eyes
and skin use protection such as a welder's helmet with dark-colored filter lenses of the correct density.
Electric welding will produce intense radiation, therefore, filter plate lenses of the deepest shade
providing adequate visibility are recommended. It is strongly recommended that persons working in
the weld area wear flash safety goggles. Also wear protective clothing. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Always wear protective equipment including eye protection with side shields, and a
dust mask when sanding or grinding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal
WARNING: On vehicles equipped with Safety Canopy options, prior to carrying out any
sectioning repairs near the roof line or sail panel areas of the vehicle, remove the Safety Canopy
module and related components. Failure to comply may result in accidental deployment or damage to
the Safety Canopy. Refer to Section 501-20B . Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious injury to technin or vehicle occupant(s).
NOTICE: Disconnect the instrument cluster module, Powertrain Control Module (PCM), Engine
Control Module (ECM), fuel pump driver module (gas only), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) module
and diesel Fuel Injection Control Module (FICM), if equipped. Electronic modules and related wiring
may be damaged when exposed to heat from welding procedures.
NOTE: When it is necessary to carry out weld-bonding procedures, refer to Weld-Bonding in this section.
The correct equipment and settings must be used when welding mild or high-strength steel. Metal Inert Gas
(MIG) and Squeeze-Type Resistance Spot Welding (STRW) are the preferred methods. Surfaces must be
clean and free of foreign materials.
Components made of high-strength steel should not be heated to straighten or repair. If components
are severely bent or kinked, new components should be installed.
When MIG or arc welding frame components, the following guidelines should be followed:
NOTICE: When welding low carbon steel side rails (35,000 psi yield strength), emphasis should be
placed upon weld application techniques to avoid excessive heat affected zones that may adversely
affect frame operating stresses. When welding within 100 mm (3.93 in) of any crossmember that
contains rivets, remove the rivets and install new SAE grade 8 bolts/nuts.
NOTE: Do not weld on any reinforcement. Use compression type fasteners when attaching any component to
the frame in the reinforcement area.
A temperature indicating crayon calibrated below 650C (1,200F) should be used to avoid
overheating and weakening the metal.
Attach the ground clamp as close as possible to the work area.
Choose welding electrodes according to the type of steel, thickness and polarity of the arc welder AC
or DC.
Do not use water or compressed air to cool welding. This can cause the metal to become brittle and
Plastics Identification
WARNING: Always refer to Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) when handling chemicals and wear
protective equipment as directed. Examples may include but are not limited to respirators and
chemically resistant gloves. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Always wear protective equipment including eye protection with side shields, and a
dust mask when sanding or grinding. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal
injury.
NOTE: Identification of the various plastic types is necessary to select the appropriate repair methods to
make high quality plastic repairs. Plastics can generally be broken down into 2 categories, thermoplastics and
thermosetting plastics. Thermoplastics can be remolded by heating. This makes plastic welding a possible
repair alternative.
1. NOTE: In some instances, a code or material designation is stamped indicating the plastic type.
Thermoplastics are solvent reactive. Types of thermoplastics include Thermoplastic Olefin (TPO),
Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS). Polyolefins have an oily or
waxy appearance. Examples include some bumper covers, stone shields, fender aprons and fan
shrouds. Polyolefins require an adhesion promoter prior to carrying out any refinish procedure.
To determine if the part is a polyolefin, grind the damaged area in an out-of-sight area.
Grinding a polyolefin will melt and smear the plastic and leave a ragged edge. If the part is
non-polyolefin, the area will grind or sand smoothly, producing a powdery dust.
Apply an open flame to the corner of the damaged component. If the material
crystallizes and becomes hard, it is a thermosetting plastic.
Plastics Refinishing
All Components
WARNING: Always refer to Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) when handling chemicals and wear
protective equipment as directed. Examples may include but are not limited to respirators and
chemically resistant gloves. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Do not paint any air bag module trim covers or deployment doors. Paint may cause the
air bag to deploy incorrectly. Failure to follow this instruction may increase the risk of serious personal
injury or death in a crash.
NOTE: When using any Ford-approved refinishing product, it is recommended to stay within the same paint
system throughout the process. For example, do not use one manufacturer's primers and another
manufacturer's topcoats.
1. NOTE: Care must be used if applying heat to parts. Thermoplastics soften and tend to lose their
shape when heated.
The first step for any repair or refinish procedure is to identify the type of plastic. Is it thermosetting
or thermoplastic, grained or smooth? This will determine how it should be cleaned and prepared for
refinishing. For additional information, refer to Plastics Identification in this section.
It is essential that the correct cleaner is used, depending on which painting system is
employed, solvent-based or water-based.
Clean part with warm water/mild detergent, then with plastic cleaner to remove wax, silicone
and other contaminants. Do not allow parts to remain wet for extended periods.
As a general rule, if water beads on the part, it requires additional cleaning as all the
manufacturing release agents have not been removed.
2. New parts may require baking in a spray booth or heating with heat lamps to release trapped solvents
or mold release agents used in the manufacturing processes.
Non-grained components
3. After cleaning, lightly sand with 600-grit or finer sandpaper. Remove sanding residue with plastic
cleaner and wipe dry.
Grained components
4. After cleaning, light use of a gray scuff pad is permissible providing the graining not be flattened.
Remove sanding residue with plastic cleaner and wipe dry.
All components
5. Apply a plastics adhesion promoter to any bare plastic part following manufacturer's
recommendation. Throughout the refinish procedure, any time bare plastic is exposed for any reason,
it is essential that adhesion promoter be reapplied to that area.
6. A sealer may be required to prevent wrinkling and lifting of the topcoat prior to carrying out the
refinish procedure.
7. Flexible and non-flexible components should be refinished separately as a flex additive may be
required when refinishing flexible parts (refer to the paint manufacturer's recommendation).
8. It is recommended to carry out refinishing of exterior components on-vehicle (after cut-in) to control
color match and blending to adjacent panels.
9. Proceed with the refinish process and follow the Ford-approved paint system procedures. Steps may
vary between paint manufacturers.

2. NOTICE: Never apply solvents such as lacquer thinner or reducer at any stage of plastic repair.
Solvents, cleaners and water are absorbed by many types of plastics and by the glass fibers used
for reinforcements. If this occurs, the plastic may swell in the area of repair and cause the
repair to fail. Remove cleaners and water quickly and use air and heat to speed up dryg.
NOTICE: During the repair of many plastics and particularly polyolefin plastics, an adhesion
promoter must be applied to the substrate to allow repair materials and paint to bond correctly.
Reapplication is required when grinding or sanding through the sealer or primered layers.
NOTE: When possible, it is recommended to carry out as much of the plastic repair as possible on the
vehicle. Parts mounted on the vehicle are held in correct alignment throughout the repair. Attempting
to repair the part off the vehicle may cause misalignment. This could lead to failure of the repair.
Select the correct repair method by identifying the type of plastic being repaired. For additional
information, refer to Plastics Identification in this section to determine the type of plastic being
repaired.
3. NOTE: Always refer to the manufacturer's label directions for the type of repair materials, fillers and
bonding agents being used as they are material specific.
Construct a reinforcement piece from a scrap piece of the type of plastic being repaired and
follow manufacturer's label directions for the type of system being used.
When repairing Sheet-Molded Composite (SMC), a reinforcement piece can be constructed
using several layers of glass cloth saturated with resin or structural adhesive. The weave of
the cloth or screening should be loose enough to allow the resin to thoroughly penetrate.
Reinforcement should cover the entire area of damage and extend outward beyond the
NOTE: The following procedure applies to repair of structural cracks and large gouges. If damage is
cosmetic, use of reinforcing cloth may not be necessary.
1. Panels to be repaired should be dry and at room temperature 18C (65F) to 24C (75F) prior to
carrying out any repairs. Both sides of the panel must be thoroughly cleaned before sanding or
grinding.
2. Cover the break in the SMC (front and back) with masking tape. This protects the damaged area from
absorbing the prep cleaner and eliminates wicking of the cleaner through the fibers into the SMC .
3. Remove all waxes, silicones, dirt and road oils from the area surrounding both sides of the damaged
area with a plastics wax and grease remover.
Remove the tape and sand the back of the repair area with an angle grinder, Dual Action
(D/A) sander or by hand using 80-grit sandpaper. Remove all dust with a vacuum and tack
cloth.
4. Create a reinforcing patch using a piece of scrap SMC that conforms well to the back of the damaged
area or form a patch from fiberglass cloth.
Cut a section of cloth large enough to cover the repair, plus 25.4 mm (1 in) around the repair
area.
Cut a section of plastic film backing approximately 25.4 mm (1 in) larger than the cloth. Lay
the plastic smooth, flat surface where it will be used to create a pyramid patch.
5. Follow manufacturer's directions and apply plastic repair adhesive to the plastic film backing and
smooth with plastic spreader to recommended thickness. Place the pre-cut fiberglass cloth on the
adhesive-coated plastic film. Cover the cloth with a coat of repair adhesive and spread to the
recommended thickness.
6. Apply the prepared patch to the backside of the panel and compress. Follow manufacturer's
instructions for adhesive cure. Remove plastic film after adhesive cures and sand as necessary to
remove roughness.
7. Remove masking tape from the front side of damaged area and grind down to the backing patch. Use
an angle grinder with a 30- to 40-grit wheel. Make a gradual taper in the area, this will prevent
bull's-eyes or read-through in the finished repair. Sand prepared area with a D/A sander or hand-sand
with 80-grit sandpaper.
8. Build a pyramid patch using fiberglass cloth or equivalent and plastic repair adhesive. Following
manufacturer's directions, apply patch to damaged area.
9. Rough-grind area to remove excess adhesive. Sand repair area with 80-grit sandpaper, making sure to
cut slightly below the SMC finished surface. This will allow for a finish coat of plastic body repair
material.
10. Apply a finish coat of plastic repair filler material per manufacturer's directions.
2. NOTE: The following steps are to be used as a guideline. Depending on what brand of adhesives or
patch materials are used, procedures may vary slightly.
Thoroughly clean the damaged area with wax and grease remover formulated for use with plastics.
3. Hand sand the repair area with 80-grit sandpaper and remove any foreign material with compressed
air.
4. Apply a plastics adhesion promoter per label directions to the repair area.
5. For small repairs, a plastic adhesive filler can be applied to the damaged area. Follow manufacturer's
directions and build layers to form a thickness above the damaged area. This will allow the area to be
sanded smooth.
6. To repair large holes or cracks, measure and cut a piece of fiberglass cloth or equivalent 25.4 mm (1
in) larger than the crack or hole.
Apply plastic repair adhesive to the damaged area and immediately apply fiberglass cloth into
plastic adhesive for reinforcement. Apply additional plastic repair adhesive for strength and
shape as required.
7. Contour and shape the repair as necessary with a D/A sander. Avoid sanding through the repair.
8. Finish-sand the area and carry out any required paint operations using Ford-approved paint systems.
1. NOTE: Inspect the bumper cover to determine if part of it can be repaired to an acceptable level of
quality of appearance, fit and durability. Will labor and material cost of the repair meet or exceed the
cost of a new replacement bumper cover? If the bumper cover is determined to be repairable, proceed
to the following steps.
NOTE: The following steps are to be used as a guideline. Depending on what brand of adhesives or
patch materials are used, procedures may vary slightly.
Remove the affected bumper. For additional information, refer to Section 501-19 .
2. Clean the broken tab(s) with a plastics wax and grease remover.
3. Hand sand the repair area with 80-grit sandpaper and remove any foreign material with compressed
air.
4. Apply a plastics adhesion promoter per label directions to the repair area.
5. Measure and cut a patch of fiberglass cloth or equivalent large enough to form the front of the tab,
then slope back in a wedge shape approximately 51 mm (2 in) from original tab.

NOTE: Structural foam and a nylon carrier are contained in the lower D-pillar area, RH and LH side. The
nylon carrier is located between the D-pillar inner and outer panel. When repairing, not replacing body sheet
metal and the structural foam parts appear to be damaged, the area must be full-filled. This will encase
reinforcement parts or cracked foam in place and eliminate potential rattles. When carrying out a full-fill
application, up to 13 structural foam cartridges may be required to completely fill the cavity depending on the
level of damage to the area. When installing a new nylon carrier only, 3 structural foam cartridges are
required. This procedure should be carried out after sheet metal work has been completed and before final
painting of the vehicle.
Departure from the instructions provided in this manual, including alternate repair methods or the use
of substitute components, risks compromising crash safety. Failure to follow these instructions may
adversely affect structural integrity and crash safety performance, which could result in serious
personal injury to vehicle occupants in a crash.
NOTE: Factory spot welds may be substituted with either Squeeze-Type Resistance Spot Welding (STRW)
or Metal Inert Gas (MIG) plug welds. Spot/plug welds should equal factory welds in both location and
quantity. Do not place a new spot weld directly over an original weld location. Plug weld hole should equal 8
mm (0.31 in) diameter.

surfaces or E-coat, or when bare metal repairs are carried out. For additional information, refer to
Restoring Corrosion Protection Following Repair in this section.
Make sure horizontal joints and flanges are correctly sealed with seam sealer to prevent
moisture intrusion. Water and moisture migrate to horizontal joints and corrosion tends to
occur more rapidly in these areas. Metal surfaces must be clean and dry before applying seam
sealer.
2. Drill out the spot welds of the damaged panel to be sectioned. Using a cut-off wheel, reciprocating
saw or plasma cutter, cut through the damaged area of the outer panel only and remove the section to
be replaced.
3. When welding overlapping surfaces or substrates, apply a weld-through primer between the surfaces
prior to welding.
4. Use duct or masking tape to close in the open bottom of the nylon carrier.
Insert and push the nylon carrier upward from the bottom of the vehicle to lock in the space
between the D-pillar inner and outer panel.
5. Install and weld in the sheet metal stuffer plate below the nylon carrier.
6. Insert one 140 mm (5.51 in) x 100 mm (3.93 in) x 75 mm (2.95 in) soft foam block into the No. 4
body mount area (oval hole inside the levitate area). The front edge of the block should be outboard
toward the D-pillar. The block will prevent foam expansion into the body mount.
7. Apply aluminum duct tape to cover all holes on the inside of the body and under side of the body in
the repair area.
8. Prepare the structural foam cartridges for application by warming with a heat gun or similar method to
obtain a working temperature of 46C (115F) to 74C (165F). This will allow for easier foam flow
from the cartridges. A pneumatic or manual application gun can be used.
9. Dispense the foam into the lower D-pillar through the large rectangular hole in the tail light opening.
Allow the foam to cure for 15 minutes and remove the aluminum tape as necessary.

NOTICE: The following is step-by-step procedure for carrying out front frame horn replacement on
Expedition/Navigator models. The Expedition/Navigator is a body on frame vehicle which is designed
with energy absorbing features in the front frame horns to manage crash energy. The horn section of
the frame MUST NOT be straightened if any holes or surfaces show evidence of collapse or buckling. If
any evidence of damage exists BEHIND the first frame crossmember in terms of buckling or cracking,
then the ENTIRE frame must be installed new.
NOTICE: Electronic modules and related wiring may be damaged when exposed to heat from welding
procedures. Carefully disconnect and remove, or position away from heat affected areas.
NOTE: Prior to beginning this procedure, the vehicle must be restored to its correct overall dimensions. For
additional information, refer to Body in this section for dimensional information.
NOTE: The replacement front frame horns are production parts designed with a taper to insert into the
mid-rail section to assist in alignment and welding operations. Tow hooks are not included with the
replacement frame kit.
NOTE: Corrosion protection needs to be restored whenever it is necessary to sand or grind through painted
surfaces or E-coat, or when bare metal repairs are made. For additional information, refer to Restoring
Corrosion Protection Following Repair in this section.
NOTE: Observe prescribed welding procedures when carrying out repairs to the frame assembly. For
additional information, refer to Welding Precautions - Steel in this section.
1. Position the vehicle on a frame rack following the manufacturer's recommendations. Measure the
vehicle to determine body and frame alignment. Rer to Body in this section for dimensional
information.
2. Remove the front bumper. For additional information, refer to Section 501-19 .
If equipped, remove tow hooks.
3. Unbolt the Front End Sheet Metal (FESM) and body mount bolts. If necessary, raise the body off the
frame assembly. For additional information, refer to Section 502-02 .
4. Locate the vertical weld line of the front frame horn to center mid-rail.
5. NOTICE: DO NOT cut directly along the weld line. Leave enough material on the forward side
of the weld line to allow the edge to be ground back exactly to the weld line. This is required to
assure a correct fit up between the frame and the replacement section.
Using a plasma cutter, reciprocating saw or die-grinder, remove the damaged front frame horn
section.
6. NOTICE: Do not thin out the frame rail. The material must maintain a minimum thickness of
3.1 mm (0.12 in) after grinding. This is required to maintain correct energy management in the
event of a collision.
Grind off the excess welding material that remains in front of the weld line on the frame mid-rail.
7. Remove the remaining portion of the front frame horn (ring-like piece) from inside the mid-rail with
pliers or similar tool.
8. Using a wire brush or sandpaper, remove the E-coat 15 mm (0.59 in) to 20 mm (0.78 in) wide from
the inner and outer surfaces of the existing mid-rail. Clean the surfaces with a wire brush and metal
surface cleaner.
Apply a zinc-rich, weld-through primer to the exposed inner and outer mating surfaces.
9. Using a wire brush or sandpaper, remove the E-coat 15 mm (0.59 in) to 20 mm (0.78 in) wide from
the inner and outer surfaces of the replacement frame horn section. Clean the surfaces with a wire
brush and metal surface cleaner.
Apply a zinc-rich, weld-through primer to the exposed inner and outer mating surfaces.
10. Install the front section inside the frame mid-rail. Support the replacement frame horn in position.
Verify that the FESM mount bracket lines up with the sheet metal hole. The holes should line up so
that the FESM mount can be replaced and the FESM mount bolt can be installed.
11. Make sure that the frame and service replacement part have attained a minimum room temperature of
10C (50F) before beginning the weld procedure. A Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welder capable of
producing 185-250 amps must be used. Use ER70S-3 or ER70S-6 weld wire 0.9-1.1 mm (0.035-0.043
in) diameter that is compatible with SAE 1010 steel. Shielding gas must be 100% carbon dioxide or
75% carbon dioxide and 25% argon.
12. Tack weld the frame horn replacement section into the existing frame at 4 small points centered on
the flats between the corners. This will hold the section in place to check the fit up prior to completely
welding up the section.
Measure the frame to make sure factory dimensions are maintained.
14. Use a dye penetrant to determine if any cracks or large voids exist in the weld joint after the welding
process has been completed.
If any cracks or other defects exist, grind out the defect and repair it until the imperfection is
corrected.
15. Clean the repaired area(s) and any exposed metal surfaces. Restore corrosion protection to the
exposed surfaces of the repaired area(s) using anti-corrosion coating on exposed interior and exterior
surfaces.
16. Install the components removed during the repair procedure and torque fasteners to the correct
specification.

If the network test passes, retrieve and record Continuous Memory Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(CMDTCs).
11. Clear the continuous DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the PCM.
12. If the DTCs retrieved are related to the concern, refer to Section 419-10 .
13. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, continue the inspection and verification if a noise
concern is related to the engine. For vibration concerns and noise concerns such as powertrain
mounts, air intake system and starter, GO to Symptom Chart - Engine NVH .
In some cases, a noise may be a normal characteristic of that engine type. In other cases, the noise may require
further investigation. Comparing the noise to a similar year/model vehicle equipped with the same engine will
aid in determining if the noise is normal or abnormal.
Once a customer concern has been identified as an abnormal engine noise, it is critical to determine the
location of the specific noise. Use the EngineEAR/ChassisEAR or stethoscope (the noise will always be
louder the closer you get to the noise source) to isolate the location of the noise to one of the following areas.
Common sources of upper end engine noise (ticking, knocking or rattle) include the fuel injectors, camshaft
phaser sprocket(s), camshaft(s) and valve train. Upper end engine noise can be determined using the
EngineEAR/ChassisEAR or stethoscope on the valve cover bolts. If the noise is loudest from the valve cover
bolts, then the noise is upper end. The EngineEAR/ChassisEAR or stethoscope can be used to further isolate
the noise to the specific cylinder bank and cylinder. Removal of the valve covers will be required to pinpoint
the source of the noise.
A common source of lower end engine noise (ticking or knocking) include the crankshaft, connecting rod(s)
and bearings. Lower end noises can be determined by using the oil pan or cylinder block lug bosses. If the
noise is loudest from these areas then the noise is lower end. If an engine noise is isolated to the lower end,
some disassembly of the engine may be required to inspect for damage or wear.
A common source of noise from the front of the engine (squeal, chirp, whine or hoot) is the Front End
Accessory Drive (FEAD) components. To isolate FEAD noise, carry out the Engine Accessory Test, refer to
Section 100-04 .
Some other noises from the front of the engine (ticking, tapping or rattle) may be internal to the engine. Use
the EngineEAR/ChassisEAR or stethoscope on the engine front cover to determine if the noise is internal to
the engine. Removal of the engine front cover may be necessary to inspect internal engine components.
A common source of noise from the rear of the engine (knocking) is the flywheel/flexplate. Inspection of the
flywheel/flexplate will be necessary.
14. After localizing the noise, note the characteristics of the noise, including type of noise, frequency and
conditions when the noise occurs and GO to Symptom Chart - Engine NVH .

Normal Operation
Oil is drawn into the oil pump through the oil pump screen and pickup tube in the sump of the oil pan. Oil is
pumped through the oil filter on the left front side of the cylinder block then enters the main gallery where it is
distributed to the crankshaft main journals and to both cylinder heads. From the main journals, the oil is
routed through cross-drilled passages in the crankshaft to lubricate the connecting rod bearings. Controlled
leakage through the crankshaft main bearings and connecting rod bearings is slung radially outward to cool
and lubricate the cylinder walls as well as the entire connecting rod, piston and piston ring assembly. The left
cylinder head is fed from a drilling into the supply passage feeding the main gallery at the front of the cylinder
block. The right cylinder head is fed from a drilling into the rear of the main gallery. Main gallery pressure is
reduced as it enters the cylinder head galleries through fixed serviceable orifices, located at the upper part of
the feed passages. It is this reduced pressure in the cylinder head galleries which feed the camshaft journals,
the hydraulic lash adjusters and the primary and secondary timing chain tensioners. On Variable Camshaft
Timing (VCT) equipped engines, the oil pressure feed for the VCT solenoids, VCT housings and camshaft
phaser and sprockets is not reduced. The camshaft lobe and roller followers are lubricated by splash created
through valve train operation.

Component Tests
NOTICE: If an overnight drive is done, the fan air or road air blast may cause erroneous readings.
NOTE: When diagnosing engine oil leaks, the source and location of the leak must be positively identified
prior to repair.
Prior to carrying out this procedure, clean the cylinder block, cylinder heads, valve covers, oil pan and
flywheel with a suitable solvent to remove all traces of oil.
Use the 12 Volt Master UV Diagnostic Inspection Kit to carry out the following procedure for oil leak
diagnosis.
1. Add 29.6 ml (1 oz) of gasoline engine oil dye to a minimum of 0.47L (1/2 qt) and a maximum of
0.95L (1 qt) engine oil and fill through the engine oil fill. If the oil is not prixed, the gasoline engine
oil dye will not have enough time to reach the crankcase, oil galleries and seal surfaces during this
particular 15 minute test. The gasoline engine oil dye must be mixed with oil and added through the
oil fill. Check the level on the oil level indicator to determine what amount of oil to premix. If it is in
the middle of the crosshatch area or below the full mark, use 0.95L (1 qt). If it is at the full mark, use
0.47L (1/2 qt).
2. Run the engine for 15 minutes. Stop the engine and inspect all seal and gasket areas for leaks using
the UV Diagnostic Inspection Kit. A clear bright yellow or orange area will identify the leak. For
extremely small leaks, several hours may be required for the leak to appear.
3. At the end of test, make sure the oil level is within the upper and lower oil indicator marks. Remove
oil as necessary if it registers above the full mark.
Oil leaks at crimped seams in sheet metal parts and cracks in cast or stamped parts can be detected when using
the Gasoline Engine Oil Dye method.
1. Make sure the oil in the crankcase is of the correct viscosity and at the correct level and that the
battery is correctly charged. Operate the vehicle until the engine is at normal operating temperature.
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then remove all the spark plugs.
4. Install an auxiliary starter switch in the starting circuit. With the ignition switch in the OFF position,
and using the auxiliary starter switch, crank the engine a minimum of 5 compression strokes and
record the highest reading. Note the approximate number of compression strokes required to obtain
the highest reading.
5. Repeat the test on each cylinder, cranking the engine approximately the same number of compression
strokes.
The indicated compression pressures are considered within specification if the lowest reading cylinder is at
least 75% of the highest reading. Refer to the Compression Pressure Limit Chart.
If one or more cylinders reads low, squirt approximately one tablespoon of engine oil on top of the pistons in
the lowding cylinders. Repeat the compression pressure check on these cylinders.
3. If 2 adjacent cylinders indicate low compression pressures and squirting oil on each piston does not
increase compression, the head gasket may be leaking between cylinders. Engine oil or coolant in
cylinders could result from this condition.
Use the Compression Pressure Limit Chart when checking cylinder compression so that the lowest
reading is within 75% of the highest reading.
When a cylinder produces a low reading, use of a cylinder leakage tester will be helpful in pinpointing the
exact cause.
The leakage tester is inserted in the spark plug hole, the piston is brought up to dead center on the
compression stroke and compressed air is admitted.
Once the combustion chamber is pressurized, the leakage tester gauge will read the percentage of leakage.
Leakage exceeding 20% is excessive.
While the air pressure is retained in the cylinder, listen for the hiss of escaping air. A leak at the intake valve
will be heard in the Throttle Body (TB). A leak at the exhaust valve can be heard at the tail pipe. Leakage past
the piston rings will be audible at the PCV connection. If air is passing through a blown head gasket to an
adjacent cylinder, the noise will be evident at the spark plug hole of the cylinder into which the air is leaking.
Cracks in the cylinder block or gasket leakage into the cooling system may be detected by a stream of bubbles
in the radiator.
Nearly all engines consume oil, which is essential for noal lubrication of the cylinder bore walls and pistons
and rings. Determining the level of oil consumption may require testing by recording how much oil is being
added over a given set of miles.
Customer driving habits greatly influence oil consumption. Mileage accumulated during towing or heavy
loading generates extra heat. Frequent short trips, stop-and-go type traffic or extensive idling, prevent the
engine from reaching normal operating temperature. This prevents component clearances from reaching
specified operating ranges.
The following diagnostic procedure may be utilized to determine internal oil consumption. Make sure that the
concern is related to internal oil consumption, and not external leakage, which also consumes oil. Verify there
are no leaks before carrying out the test. Once verified, the rate of internal oil consumption can be tested.
A new engine may require extra oil in the early stages of operation. Internal piston-to-bore clearances and
sealing characteristics improve as the engine breaks in. Engines are designed for close tolerances and do not
require break-in oils or additives. Use the oil specified in the Owner's Literature. Ambient temperatures may
determine the oil viscosity specification. Verify that the correct oil is being used for the vehicle in the
geographic region in which it is driven.
Basic Pre-checks
1. For persistent complaints of oil consumption, interview the customer to determine the oil
consumption characteristics. If possible, determine the brand and grade of oil currently in the oil pan.
Look at the oil filter or oil-change station tags to determine if Ford-recommended maintenance
schedules have been followed. Make sure that the oil has been changed at the specified mileage
intervals. If vehicle mileage is past the first recommended drain interval, the OEM production filter
should have been changed.
2. Ask how the most current mileage was accumulated. That is, determine whether the vehicle was
driven under the following conditions:
Extended idling or curbside engine operation
Stop-and-go traffic or taxi operation
Towing a trailer or vehicle loaded heavily
Frequent short trips (engine not up to normal operating temperature)
Excessive throttling or high engine-rpm driving
3. Verify that there are no external leaks. If necessary, review the diagnostic procedure under Engine Oil
Leaks in the Diagnosis and Testing portion of this section.
5. Inspect for signs of sludge. Sludge affects PCV performance and can plug or restrict cylinder head
drainback wells. It can also increase oil pressure by restricting passages and reducing the drainback
capability of piston oil control rings.
6. Inspect the air filter for dirt, sludge or damage. A hole in the filter element will allow unfiltered air to
7. If the engine is hot or was recently shut down, wait at least 5 minutes to allow the oil to drain back.
Ask the customer if this requirement has been followed. Adding oil without this wait period can cause
an overfill condition, leading to excessive oil consumption and foaming which may cause engine
damage.
8. Make sure the oil level indicator (dipstick) is correctly and fully seated in the indicator tube. Remove
the oil level indicator and record the oil level.
Detailed Pre-checks
1. Check the thermostat opening temperature to make sure that the cooling system is operating at the
specified temperature. If it is low, internal engine parts are not running at specified internal operating
clearances.
2. Verify the spark plugs are not oil saturated. Oil leaking into one or more cylinders will appear as an
oil soaked condition on the plug. If a plug is saturated, a compression check may be necessary at the
conclusion of the oil consumption test.
Once all of the previous conditions are met, carry out an oil consumption test.
1. Drain the engine oil and remove the oil filter. Install a new manufacturer-specified oil filter. Make
sure the vehicle is positioned on a level surface. Refill the oil pan to a level one liter (quart) less than
the specified fill level, using manufacturer-specified oil.
2. Run the engine for 3 minutes (if hot) or 10 minutes (if cold). Allow for a minimum 5-minute
drainback period and then record the oil level shown on the oil level indicator. Place a mark on the
backside of the oil level indicator noting the oil level location.
3. Add the final 0.95L (1 qt) to complete the normal oil fill. Restart the engine and allow it to idle for 2
minutes. Shut the engine down.
4. After a 5-minute drainback period, record the location of the oil level again. Mark the oil level
indicator with the new oil level location. (Note: Both marks should be very close to the MIN-MAX
upper and lower limits or the upper and lower holes on the oil level indicator. These marks will
exactly measure the engine's use of oil, with a one quart differential between the new marks.)
Demonstrate to the customer that the factory-calibrated marks on the oil level indicator are where the
oil should fall after an oil change with the specified fill amount. Explain however, that this may vary
slightly between MIN-MAX or the upper and lower holes on the oil level indicator.
6. Advise the customer that oil level indicator readings must be taken every 320 km (200 mi) or weekly,
using the revised marks as drawn. Remind the customer that the engine needs a minimum 5-minute
drainback for an accurate reading and that the oil level indicator must be firmly seated in the tube
prior to taking the reading.
7. When the subsequent indicator readings demonstrate a full quart (liter) has been used, record the
vehicle mileage. The mileage driven between the 2 readings should not be less than 4,800 km (3,000
miles). The drive cycle the vehicle has been operated under must be considered when making this
1. If test results indicate excessive oil consumption, carry out a cylinder compression test. The cylinder
compression test should be carried out with a fully charged battery and all spark plugs removed. See
the Compression Test Chart in this section for pressure range limits.
2. Compression should be consistent across all cylinders. Refer to the Compression Testing portion of
this section. If compression tested within the specifications found in this section, the excessive oil
consumption may be due to wear on the valve guides, valves or valve seals.
3. A cylinder leak detection test can be carried out using a cylinder leakage tester. This can help identify
valves, piston rings, or worn valve guides/valve stems, inoperative valve stem seals or other related
areas as the source of oil consumption.
NOTE: An oil-soaked appearance on the porcelain tips of the spark plugs also indicates excessive oil use. A
typical engine with normal oil consumption will exhibit a light tan to brown appearance. See Spark Plug
Analysis in this section for details. A single or adjoining, multiple cylinder leak can be traced by viewing the
tips.
4. If an internal engine part is isolated as the root cause, determine if the repair will exceed cost limits
and proceed with a repair strategy as required.
5. Once corrective action to engine is complete and verifying that all pre-check items were eliminated in
the original diagnosis, repeat the Oil Consumption Test as described above and verify consumption
results.
Bring the engine to normal operating temperature. Connect the Vacuum/Pressure Tester to the intake
manifold. Run the engine at the specified idle speed.
The vacuum gauge should read between 51-74 kPa (15-22 in-Hg) depending upon the engine condition and
the altitude at which the test is performed. Subtract 4.0193 kPa (1 in-Hg) from the specified reading for every
304.8 m (1,000 ft) of elevation above sea level.
The reading should be steady. If necessary, adjust the gauge damper control (where used) if the needle is
fluttering rapidly. Adjust the damper until the needle moves easily without excessive flutter.
A careful study of the vacuum gauge reading while the engine is idling will help pinpoint trouble areas.
Always conduct other appropriate tests before arriving at a final diagnostic decision. Vacuum gauge readings,
although helpful, st be interpreted carefully.
Most vacuum gauges have a normal band indicated on the gauge face.
The following are potential gauge readings. Some are normal; others should be investigated further.
1. NORMAL READING: Needle between 51-74 kPa (15-22 in-Hg) and holding steady.
3. NORMAL FOR HIGH-LIFT CAMSHAFT WITH LARGE OVERLAP: The needle will register as
low as 51 kPa (15 in-Hg), but will be relatively steady. Some oscillation is normal.
4. WORN RINGS OR DILUTED OIL: When the engine is accelerated (dotted needle), the needle drops
to 0 kPa (0 in-Hg). Upon deceleration, the needle runs slightly above 74 kPa (22 in-Hg).
5. STICKING VALVES: When the needle (dotted) remains steady at a normal vacuum, but occasionally
flicks (sharp, fast movement) down and back about 13 kPa (4 in-Hg), one or more valves may be
sticking.
7. POOR VALVE SEATING: A small but regular downscale flicking can mean one or more valves are
not seating.
8. WORN VALVE GUIDES: When the needle oscillates over about a 13 kPa (4 in-Hg) range at idle
speed, the valve guides could be worn. As engine speed increases, the needle will become steady if
guides are responsible.
9. WEAK VALVE SPRINGS: When the needle oscillation becomes more violent as engine rpm is
increased, weak valve springs are indicated. The reading at idle could be relatively steady.
10. LATE VALVE TIMING: A steady but low reading could be caused by late valve timing.
11. IGNITION TIMING RETARDING: Retarded ignition timing will produce a steady, but somewhat
low, reading.
12. INSUFFICIENT SPARK PLUG GAP: When spark plugs are gapped too close, a regular, small
pulsation of the needle can occur.
13. INTAKE LEAK: A low, steady reading can be caused by an intake manifold or throttle body gasket
leak.
15. RESTRICTED EXHAUST SYSTEM: When the engine is first started and is idled, the reading may
be normal, but as the engine rpm is increased, the back pressure caused by a clogged muffler, kinked
tail pipe or other concerns will cause the needle to slowly drop to 0 kPa (0 in-Hg). The needle then
may slowly rise. Excessive exhaust clogging will cause the needle to drop to a low point even if the
engine is only idling.
16. When vacuum leaks are indicated, search out and correct the cause. Excess air leaking into the system
will upset the fuel mixture and cause concerns such as rough idle, missing on acceleration or burned
valves. If the leak exists in an accessory unit such as the power brake booster, the unit will not
function correctly. Always fix vacuum leaks.
NOTICE: Inspect the engine for installation of an aftermarket oil filter. Review oil and filter
maintenance history to make sure that the vehicle has not gone beyond the standard Ford
recommended oil change intervals. Check the engine oil level and check the oil for contamination. If the
oil is contaminated, engine damage can occur, the source of the contamination must be identified and
repaired as necessary.
1. Disconnect and remove the Engine Oil Pressure (EOP) switch from the engine. Refer to the
appropriate section in Group 303 for the procedure.
5. Run the engine at 2,000 rpm and record the gauge reading.
6. The oil pressure should be within specifications; refer to the specifications in the appropriate engine
section.
The following component tests are used to diagnose valve train concerns.
Check for damaged or severelrn parts and correct assembly. Make sure correct parts are used with the static
engine analysis as follows.
Valve Train Analysis - Engine Off, Camshaft Roller Followers and Hydraulic Lash Adjusters,
Overhead Camshaft
Valve Train Analysis - Engine Off, Valve Spring Retainer and Valve Spring Retainer Keys
Check for correct seating of the valve spring retainer key on the valve stem and in valve spring
retainer.
Check for correct seating on the valve stem.
Static checks (engine off) are to be made on the engine prior to the dynamic procedure.
If insufficient oiling is suspected, check oil passages for blockage, then accelerate the engine to 1,200 rpm
with th in NEUTRAL and the engine at normal operating temperature. Oil should spurt from the rocker arm
oil holes such that valve tips and camshaft roller followers are well oiled. With the valve covers off, some oil
splash may overshoot camshaft roller followers.
Check the lift of each camshaft lobe in consecutive order and make a note of the readings.
2. Install the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture so the rounded tip of indicator is on top of the
camshaft lobe.
3. Rotate the crankshaft using a breaker bar and socket attached to the crankshaft pulley retainer bolt.
Rotate the crankshaft until the base circle of the camshaft lobe is reached.
4. Zero the Dial Indicator Gauge. Continue to rotate the crankshaft until the (1) high-lift point of the
camshaft lobe is in the fully-raised position (highest indicator reading).
5. To check the accuracy of the original indicator reading, continue to rotate crankshaft until the (2) base
circle is reached. The indicator reading should be zero. If zero reading is not obtained, repeat the
measurement.
6. If the lift on any lobe is below specified service limits, install a new camshaft and camshaft roller
followers.

Oil is pumped through the oil filter on the left front side of the cylinder block.
Engine 1263
2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
Oil enters the main gallery where it is distributed to the crankshaft main journals and to both cylinder
heads.
From the main journals, the oil is routed through cross-drilled passages in the crankshaft to lubricate
the connecting rod bearings. Controlled leakage through the crankshaft main bearings and connecting
rod bearings is slung radially outward to cool and lubricate the cylinder walls as well as the entire
connecting rod, piston and piston ring assembly.
The left cylinder head is fed from a drilling into the supply passage feeding the main gallery at the
front of the cylinder block. The right cylinder head is fed from a drilling into the rear of the main
gallery. Main gallery pressure is reduced as it enters the cylinder head galleries through fixed
serviceable orifices, located at the upper part of the feed passages. It is this reduced pressure in the
cylinder head galleries which feeds the camshaft journals, the hydraulic lash adjusters and the primary
and secondary timing chain tensioners.
The oil pressure feed for the VCT solenoids, VCT housings and camshaft phaser and sprockets is not
reduced.
The camshaft lobe and roller followers are lubricated by splash created through valve train operation.

Oil Pump
The lubrication system is designed to provide optimum oil flow to critical components of the engine through
its entire operating range. The heart of the system is a positive displacement internal gear oil pump using top
seal rotors. Generically this design is known as a gerotor pump, which operates as follows:
The oil pump is mounted on the front face of the cylinder block.
The inner rotor is piloted on the crankshaft post and is driven through flats on the crankshaft.
System pressure is limited by an integral, internally-vented relief valve which directs the bypassed oil
back to the inlet side of the oil pump.
Oil pump displacement has been selected to provide adequate volume to make sure of correct oil
pressure, both at hot idle and maximum speed.
The relief valve calibration protects the system from excessive pressure during high viscosity
conditions.
The relief valve is designed to provide adequate connecting rod bearing lubrication under
high-temperature and high-speed conditions.

Principles of Operation
Engine coolant flows primarily from the engine to the radiator circuit and back to the coolant pump. Coolant
is sent from the coolant pump through the engine block and cylinder heads. A separate circuit from the engine
also feeds the heater core with coolant. The coolant pump is operated by engine rotation through a pulley
which is driven by the accessory drive belt to circulate the coolant. The coolant thermostat is a control valve
actuated by coolant temperature. When the thermostat is closed, coolant flow bypasses the radiator circuit and
returns to the coolant pump. When the thermostat is opened, coolant flows through the radiator circuit in order
to transfer engine-generated heat to the outside air.
The coolant expansion tank holds surplus coolant, allows for coolant expansion and replenishes coolant to the
cooling system. It is equipped with a non-pressurized cap which allows coolant to be added to the tank to keep
it filled to prescribed levels.
The cooling fan draws air through the radiator to help cool the engine coolant as it passes through the radiator.
The thermostat monitor is a function of the PCM and is designed to verify correct thermostat operation. The
monitor is executed once per drive cycle and has a monitor run duration of 300-800 seconds. If a malfunction
occurs, DTC P0125 or P0128 is set, and the malfunction indicator lamp is illuminated.
WARNING: Always allow the engine to cool before opening the cooling system. Do not unscrew the
coolant pressure relief cap when the engine is operating or the cooling system is hot. The cooling system
is under pressure; steam and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
NOTICE: The engine cooling system is filled with Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine Coolant.
Always fill the cooling system with the manufacturer's specified coolant. Chemically flush the cooling
system if a non-specified coolant has been used. Refer to Cooling System Flushing in this section.
Failure to follow these instructions may damage the engine or cooling system.
NOTICE: The engine cooling system is filled with Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine Coolant. Do
not mix coolant types. Mixing coolant types degrades the corrosion protection of Motorcraft
Specialty Orange Engine Coolant.
NOTE: During normal vehicle operation, Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine Coolant may change color
from orange to pink or light red. As long as the engine coolant is clear and uncontaminated, this color change
does not indicate the engine coolant has degraded nor does it require the engine coolant to be drained, the
system to be flushed, or the engine coolant to be replaced.
2. Visually check the engine coolant level at the coolant expansion tank when the system is cold.
4. Record any cooling system DTCs retrieved. Refer to the DTC Chart in this section for DTC
descriptions.
5. NOTE: Take note of any coolant odor or steam coming from cooling system components.
If the system coolant is filled correctly and no DTCs associated with fail-safe cooling are retrieved,
verify the customer's concern by operating the engine to duplicate the condition.
6. NOTE: Refer to the coolant flow diagram in the Description and Operation, Engine Cooling portion
of this section.

Pinpoint Tests
The engine cooling system is a closed system that provides for coolant expansion and contraction and also
changes in pressure as coolant warms and cools with engine operation. Various gaskets, seals, hoses and
clamps contain coolant within the cooling system and keep other fluids and contaminants from entering the
cooling system.
Coolant loss can be attributed to either external or internal leaks anywhere within the cooling system.
For engine specific information, refer to Engine Cooling in the Description and Operation portion of this
section.
WARNING: Always allow the engine to cool before opening the cooling system. Do not unscrew the
coolant pressure relief cap when the engine is operating or the cooling system is hot. The cooling system
is under pressure; steam and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
The engine cooling system maintains engine temperatures during operation. Correct coolant flow through the
engine, radiator and remainder of cooling system passages and components is essential to maintaining a
correct engine temperature.
Engine coolant flows primarily from the engine to the radiator circuit and back to the coolant pump. Coolant

actuated by coolant temperature. When the thermostat is closed, coolant flow bypasses the radiator circuit and
returns to the coolant pump. When the thermostat is opened, coolant flows through the radiator circuit in order
to transfer engine-generated heat to the outside air.
Engine overheating generally occurs when there is a disruption in the ability to control either coolant flow at
the proper rate, the inability to transfer heat from the engine through the coolant (including low coolant), or an
inability to transfer engine generated heat to the outside air through the radiator.
DTC P0217 (Engine Coolant Over Temperature Condition) Indicates an engine overheat
condition was detected by the Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor.
DTC P1285 (Cylinder Head Over Temperature Condition) Indicates an engine overheat

Normal Operation
The engine cooling system maintains engine temperatures during operation. Correct coolant flow through the
engine, radiator and remainder of cooling system passages and components is essential to maintaining a
correct engine temperature.
Engine coolant flows primarily from the engine to the radiator circuit and back to the coolant pump. Coolant
is sent from the coolant pump through the engine block and cylinder heads. A separate circuit from the engine
also feeds the heater core with coolant. The coolant pump is operated by engine rotation through a pulley
which is driven by the accessory drive belt to circulate the coolant. The coolant thermostat is a control valve
actuated by coolant temperature. When the thermostat is closed, coolant flow bypasses the radiator circuit and
returns to the coolant pump. When the thermostat is opened, coolant flows through the radiator circuit in order
to transfer engine-generated heat to the outside air.
Concerns of engine inability to reach normal operating temperature typically occur when the rate of coolant
flow through some coolant circuits (radiator, heater core) is more than expected given the conditions or the
electric cooling fan is always on. Heat is not allowed to build in the engine because a heat exchanger is
removing too much heat, including the radiator and heater core. In addition, perceived concerns that the
engine does not reach normal operating temperature can be related to a low coolant level or trapped air which
does not allow for hot coolant to be available at the heater core, an inoperative climate control system, or for
concerns perceived or related to an incorrect engine temperature gauge indication.
DTC P0125 (Insufficient Coolant Temperature For Closed Loop Fuel Control) Indicates the
Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor has not achieved the required temperature level to enter
closed loop operating conditions within a specified amount of time after starting the engine.

WARNING: Always allow the engine to cool before opening the cooling system. Do not unscrew the
coolant pressure relief cap when the engine is operating or the cooling system is hot. The cooling system
is under pressure; steam and hot liquid can come out forcefully when the cap is loosened slightly.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
NOTICE: Always fill the cooling system with the manufacturer's specified coolant. If a non-specified
coolant has been used the cooling system must be chemically flushed. Refer to Cooling System Flushing
in this section. Failure to follow these instructions may damage the engine or cooling system.
NOTICE: The coolant mut be recovered in a suitable, clean container for reuse. If the coolant is
contaminated it must be recycled or disposed of correctly and the cooling system chemically flushed
and filled with new coolant. Failure to follow these instructions may damage the engine or cooling
system.
NOTE: Less than 80% of the coolant capacity can be recovered with the engine in the vehicle. Dirty, rusty or
contaminated coolant requires replacement.
1. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Section
100-02 .
3. Wrap a thick cloth around the radiator cap. Slowly turn the cap counterclockwise until the pressure
begins to release.
5. When sure all the pressure has been released, use the cloth to turn and remove the cap.
6. Place a suitable container below the radiator draincock. Drain the coolant.
Tighten the radiator draincock when finished.
NOTICE: Vehicle cooling systems are filled with Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine Coolant.
Always fill the cooling system with the manufacturer's specified coolant. If a non-specified coolant has
been used the cooling system must be chemically flushed. Refer to Cooling System Flushing in this
section. Failure to follow these instructions may damage the engine or cooling system.
NOTICE: Engine coolant provides freeze protection, boil protection, cooling efficiency and corrosion
protection to the engine and cooling components. In order to obtain these protections, the engine
coolant must be maintained at the correct concentration and fluid level. Failure to follow these
instructions may result in engine or cooling system damage.
Do not mix coolant types. Mixing coolants may degrade the coolant's corrosion protection.
Do not add alcohol, methanol or brine, or any engine coolants mixed with alcohol or methanol
antifreeze. These can cause engine damage from overheating or freezing.
Do not mix with recycled coolant. Use of such coolant may harm the engine and cooling system
components.
1. Connect the Airlift Cooling System Tester body and the appropriate rubber adapter to the radiator.
3. Follow the Airlift Cooling System Tester manufacturer's instructions to fill and bleed the cooling
system.
Recommended coolant concentration is 50/50 engine coolant to distilled water.
For extremely cold climates (less than -37C [-34F]):
It may be necessary to increase the coolant concentration above 50%.
NEVER increase the coolant concentration above 60%.
Maximum coolant concentration is 60/40 for cold weather areas.
NOTICE: Vehicle cooling systemfilled with Motorcraft Specialty Orange Engine Coolant. Always fill
the cooling system with the manufacturer's specified coolant. If a non-specified coolant has been used
the cooling system must be chemically flushed. Refer to Cooling System Flushing in this section. Failure

1. Fill the radiator through the radiator fill neck until the coolant level is at the bottom of the filler neck.
Recommended coolant concentration is 50/50 engine coolant to distilled water.
For extremely cold climates (less than -37C [-34F]):
It may be necessary to increase the coolant concentration above 50%.
NEVER increase the coolant concentration above 60%. i>
Maximum coolant concentration is 60/40 for cold weather areas.
A coolant concentration of 60% provides freeze point protection down to -50C
(-58F).
Engine coolant concentration above 60% decreases the overheat protection
characteristics of the engine coolant and may damage the engine.
For extremely hot climates:
It is still necessary to maintain the coolant concentration above 40%.
NEVER decrease the coolant concentration below 40%.
Minimum coolant concentration is 40/60 for warm weather areas.
A coolant concentration of 40% provides freeze point protection down to -26C
(-15F).
Engine coolant concentration below 40% decreases the corrosion and freeze
protection characteristics of the engine coolant and may damage the engine.
3. Fill the coolant expansion tank until the coolant reaches the COLD FILL mark.
4. On the Electronic Manual Temperature Control (EMTC), move the temperature blend selector to the
full WARM position. On the Electronic Automatic Temperature Control (EATC), set the temperature
to 32C (90F).
5. NOTICE: If the air discharge remains cool and the engine coolant temperature gauge does not
move, the engine coolant level is low in the engine and must be filled. Stop the engine, allow it to
cool and fill the cooling system. Failure to follow this instructions may result in damage to the
engine. p>Run the engine at idle until it reaches normal operating temperature.
6. Add more correct coolant mixture to the coolant expansion tank until the coolant level is at the COLD
FILL mark.
8. Start the engine and allow it to idle until it reaches normal operating temperature. While the engine is
idling, feel for hot air from the A/C vents.
Hot air should discharge from the A/C vents. The engine coolant temperature gauge should
maintain a stabilized reading in the middle of the NORMAL range and the upper radiator
hose should feel hot to the touch.
9. Check the engine coolant level in the coolant expansion tank and fill it as necessary.

Fuel is metered into each intake port in a sequential firing order. Fuel injectors pulse to follow engine firing
order, in accordance with engine demand, on a tuned intake manifold.
The basic fuel requirement of the engine is determined from the data supplied to the PCM by the MAF sensor,
which measures the amount of air being drawn into the engine.
The various sensors detect any changes in the operating conditions and send signals to the PCM. This permits
the PCM to control the opening duration (pulse width) of the fuel injectors and maintain optimum exhaust

and alignment. The automatic belt tensioner maintains correct belt tension and compensates for component
wear and changes in system load. System load changes can be caused by the A/C compressor clutch engaging
or disengaging, or demand changes on other systems powered by the accessory drive belt. To maintain correct
operation of this system, it is critical that the correct length drive belt be installed. The pulleys must also be
correctly aligned and kept clean.
Accessory Drive
NOTICE: Under no circumstances should the accessory drive belt, tensioner or pulleys have any fluids
or belt dressing applied to them as damage to the belt material and tensioner damping mechanism may
occur.

Item Description
1 Belt length indicator
2 Acceptable belt installation and wear range
3 Belt replacement range
4 Belt tension relief point
3. Check that the belt length indicator, if equipped, on the belt tensioner is in the acceptable belt
installation and wear range. If the indicator is in the belt replacement range, either an incorrect belt is
installed or the belt is worn beyond the service limit. Install a new belt as necessary.
4. Eliminate all other non-belt related noises that could cause belt misdiagnosis, such as A/C compressor
engagement chirp, A/C slugging noise, power steering cavitations at low temperatures, Variable
Camshaft Timing (VCT) tick or generator whine.
5. If a concern is found, correct the condition before proceeding to the next step.
6. Check the belt for cracks. Up to 15 cracks in a rib over a distance of 100 mm (4.0 in) can be
considered acceptable. If cracks exceed this standard, install a new belt.
7. The condition of the V-ribbed drive belt should be compared against the illustration and appropriate
action taken.
1. Small scattered deposits of rubber material. This is not a concern, therefore, installation of a
new belt is not required.
2. Longer deposit areas building up to 50% of the rib height. This is not considered a durability
concern, but it can result in excessive noise. If noise is apparent, install a new belt.
3. Heavy deposits building up along the grooves resulting in a possible noise and belt stability
concern. If heavy deposits are apparent, install a new belt.
8. There should be no chunks missing from the belt ribs. If the belt shows any evidence of this, install a
new accessory drive belt.
9. If the concern is not visually evident, verify the symptom and GO to Symptom Chart .

Component Tests
NOTICE: Under no circumstances should the accessory drive belt, tensioner or pulleys have any fluids
or belt dressing applied to them as damage to the belt material and tensioner damping mechanism may
occur.
Drive belt chirp occurs due to pulley misalignment or excessive pulley runout. It can be the result of a
damaged or incorrectly aligned grooved pulley.
To correct, determine the area where the noise comes from. Check each of the pulleys in that area with a
straightedge to the crankshaft pulley. Look for accessory pulleys out of position in the fore/aft direction or at
an angle to the straightedge.
Drive belt squeal may be an intermittent or constant noise that occurs when the drive belt slips on an
accessory pulley under certain conditions.
A short intermittent squeal may occur during engine start up and shut down or during very rapid engine
acceleration and decelerations, such as:
Wide Open Throttle (WOT) 1-2 and 2-3 shifts or 2-3 and 3-4 back-out shifts on automatic
transmissions.
WOT 1-2 and 2-3 shifts and any combination of rapid downshifting on manual transmissions.
These special short-term transient events are expected, and are due to the higher system inertias required to
meet the electrical and cooling demands on today's vehicle systems. Constant or reoccurring drive belt squeal
can occur:
Install a new accessory drive belt tensioner if the drive belt tensioner is worn or damaged.
NOTICE: Incorrect accessory drive belt installation will cause excessive drive belt wear and may cause
the drive belt to come off the pulleys.
Non-standard accessory drive belts can track differently or incorrectly. If an accessory drive belt tracks
incorrectly, install a new accessory drive belt to avoid performance failu or loss of the drive belt.
Correct Installation
With the engine running, check accessory drive belt tracking on all pulleys. If the edge of the accessory drive
belt rides beyond the edge of the pulleys, noise and premature wear will occur. Make sure the accessory drive
belt rides correctly on the pulley. If an accessory drive belt tracking condition exists, proceed with the
following:
Visually check the accessory drive belt tensioner for damage and wear, especially the mounting pad
surface and arm alignment. If the accessory drive belt tensioner is not installed correctly, the
mounting surface pad will be out of position. If the tensioner arm is worn, the arm will be out of
alignment. Either of these conditions will result in chirp and squeal noises.
With the engine running, visually observe the grooves in the pulleys (not the pulley flanges or the
pulley forward faces) for excessive wobble. Install new components as necessary.
Check all accessories, mounting brackets and the accessory drive belt tensioner for any interference
that would prevent the component from mounting correctly. Correct any interference condition and
recheck the accessory drive belt tracking.
Tighten all accessories, mounting brackets and accessory drive belt tensioner retaining hardware to
specification. Recheck the accessory drive belt tracking.
The only mechanical check that needs to be made is a check for tensioner stick, grab or bind.
1. With the engine off, check routing of the accessory drive belt. Refer to the illustrations under
Accessory Drive in the Description and Operation portion of this section.
2. NOTE: The accessory drive belt tensioner spring is very strong and requires substantial force to
release.
Release the tension on the belt and detach the accessory drive belt from the tensioner. Carry out the
following tests:
Move the tensioner from its relaxed position, through its full stroke and back to the relaxed
position to make sure there is no stick, grab or bind, and to make sure that there is tension on
the tensioner spring.
Rotate the tensioner pulley by hand and check for a binding, contaminated or seized
condition.
Inspect the area surrounding the accessory drive belt tensioner for oil leaks or contamination
and repair any leaks.
3. If the accessory drive belt tensioner does not meet the criteria in the previous step, install a new
tensioner. If the accessory drive belt tensioner meets the criteria in the previous step, proceed to
testing the tensioner dynamically.
4. If the tensioner is saturated with oil and grease internally, install a new tensioner.
1. With the engine running, observe the accessory drive belt tensioner movement. The accessory drive
tensioner should move (respond) when the A/C clutch cycles (if equipped), or when the engine is
accelerated rapidly. If the accessory drive belt tensioner movement is excessive without A/C clutch
cycling or engine acceleration, check belt rideout. Excessive belt rideout (uneven depth of grooves in
the belt) can cause excessive accessory drive belt tensioner movement. Check rideout condition by
installing a new belt. If excessive accessory drive belt tensioner movement still exists, install a new
accessory drive belt tensioner.
1. Rotate the accessory drive belt tensioner clockwise and remove the accessory drive belt.
2. NOTE: Make sure the drive belt is correctly installed on each pulley.
Refer to Accessory Drive in Description and Operation for drive belt routing.
1. Rotate the accessory drive belt tensioner clockwise and remove the accessory drive belt from the A/C
compressor pulley.
1. Remove the Air Cleaner (ACL) outlet pipe. For additional information, refer to Section 303-12 .
2. Rotate the accessory drive belt tensioner clockwise and position the accessory drive belt aside.
3. Remove the bolt and the accessory drive belt idler pulley.
To install, tighten to 25 Nm (18 lb-ft).
4. Repeat the previous step for each accessory drive belt idler pulley being serviced.

Start diode, part of the One-Touch Integrated Start (OTIS) system
The function of the starting system is to crank the engine at a speed fast enough to permit the engine to start.
When the starter solenoid is energized, a magnetic field is created in the starter solenoid windings. The iron
plunger core is drawn into the starter solenoid coil, and a drive lever and pin connected to the starter drive
engages the drive pinion gear to the flexplate ring gear. When the plunger is pulled all the way in, the contact
disc closes the circuit between the battery and the motor feed terminals. This sends current to the motor and
the drive pinion gear cranks the flexplate to start the engine. When current flows to the starter motor, the
starter solenoid pull-in coil is bypassed, and the hold-in coil keeps the drive pinion gear engaged with the
flexplate.
Automatic transmissions have a PNP switch in the transmission. The PNP switch prevents operation of the
starter motor unless NEUTRAL or PARK is selected.
This vehicle has OTIS , a computer-assisted cranking system. This feature assists in starting the engine. If the
ignition key is turned to the START position and released when the engine begins cranking, the engine may
continue cranking for up to 10 seconds or until the vehicle starts.
Once the ignition is turned to the START position, the PCM reads starter motor request from the ignition
switch and gains control of the starter engagement. The customer is no longer in the loop after the initial crank
request, the customer may release the key to the RUN/START position. The PCM will disengage the starter
motor based on the following events:
Starting System
Special Tool(s)
Principles of Operation
Starting System
This vehicle is equipped with a One-Touch Integrated Start (OTIS) starting system. The starting system is
electronically controlled by the PCM. The PCM receives the following inputs:
Brake pedal pressed, from the Brake Pedal Position (BPP) switch, all vehicles
Transmission in PARK or NEUTRAL, from the transmission mechatronics unit
Correctly coded ignition key, from the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS), vehicles equipped with
PATS
Starter motor request, ignition switch in the START position
When the ignition switch is placed in the START position, voltage is supplied to the coil of the starter relay
through the OTIS diode. A starter motor request signal is also sent to the PCM. If the PCM recognizes the
needed input signals, it provides the starter relay coil with both voltage and a ground. The starter relay
contacts close providing voltage to the starter solenoid, allowing the starter motor to activate. Once the starter
motor begins to crank, the ignition switch may be released. The starter motor will continue to crank until the
engine starts, a PCM controlled crank time has been exceeded or the ignition switch is turned to the OFF
position.
WARNING: Always disconnect the battery ground cable at the battery before disconnecting the
starter motor battery terminal lead. If a tool is shorted at the starter motor battery terminal, the tool
can quickly heat enough to cause a skin burn. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious
personal injury.
NOTE: The anti-theft system must be functioning correctly before a logical starting system diagnosis can be
carried out. Address anti-theft system concerns before continuing. Refer to Section 419-01B .
1. Verify the customer concern by operating the starting system to duplicate the condition.
2. Remove the accessory drive belt. Refer to Section 303-05 . Verify the crankshaft and each of the
components driven by the accessory drive belt rotate and are not seized or damaged.

uses intake manifold vacuum to reach a target vacuum on the EVAP system. The FTP sensor is used
by the Engine On EVAP leak-check monitor to determine if the target vacuum necessary to carry out
the leak-check on the EVAP system has been reached. Once target vacuum on the EVAP system is
achieved, the change in EVAP system vacuum over a calibrated period of time determines if a leak
exists.
The Engine Off Natural Vacuum (EONV) EVAP leak-check monitor is executed:
once the Engine On EVAP leak-check monitor is completed and the key is turned off. The EONV
EVAP leak-check monitor determines if a leak is present when the naturally occurring change in the
fuel tank pressure or vacuum does not exceed a calibrated limit during a calibrated amount of time. A
separate, low-power consuming microprocessor in the PCM manages the EONV leak-check.

For removal and installation, refer to Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor in this section.
PCM
accepts input from various engine sensors to compute the fuel flow rate necessary to maintain a
prescribed air/fuel ratio throughout the entire engine operational range.
outputs a command to the fuel injectors to meter the appropriate quantity of fuel.
For removal and installation, refer to Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in this section.
The TP sensor:
is an electrically controlled hydraulic valve that directs engine oil to the variable camshaft. Once the
PCM transmits a signal, the solenoid moves a valve spool, directing oil into the camshaft phaser
cavity. This action changes valve timing by either inducing an advance or retard condition. The
camshaft is thereby repositioned in relation to crankshaft timing and allows for optimum engine
performance and emissions.
For removal and installation, refer to Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) Oil Control Solenoid in this section.

The front caster and camber are adjusted by removing the lower arm front and rear bolts and installing
adjuster kits to allow the arm to be adjusted in the frame slots. Front toe is adjusted by the use of the front
wheel knuckle tie rods. The rear camber is adjusted by removing the upper arm camber set shim or shim pins
to allow the arm to be adjusted in the frame slot. The rear toe is adjusted by the use of the rear toe link cam
bolt and nut.
Camber
Camber is the vertical tilt of the wheel when viewed from the front. Camber can be positive or negative and
has a direct affect on tire wear.
Caster
Item Description
1 Positive caster
2 True vertical
3 Steering axis
Caster is the deviation from vertical of an imaginary line drawn through the ball joints when viewed from the
side. The caster specifications in this section will give the vehicle the best directional stability characteristics
when loaded and driven. The caster setting does not affect tire wear.
Toe
Wander
Wander is the tendency of the vehicle to require frequent, random left and right steering wheel corrections to
maintain a straight path down a level road.
Shimmy
Shimmy, as observed by the driver, is large, consistent, rotational oscillations of the steering wheel resulting
from large, side-to-side (lateral) tire/wheel movements.
Shimmy is usually experienced near 64 km/h (40 mph), and can begin or be amplified when the tire contacts
pot holes or irregularities in the road surface.
Nibble
Sometimes confused with shimmy, nibble is a condition resulting from tire interaction with various road
surfaces or tire imbalance. This condition is observed by the driver as small rotational oscillations of the
steering wheel. For information on wheel and tire diagnosis, refer to Section 204-04 .
Poor returnability and sticky steering is used to describe the poor return of the steering wheel to center after a
turn or when the steering correction is completed.
Drift/Pull
Drift describes what a vehicle with this condition does with hands off the steering wheel.
A vehicle-related drift/pull, on a flat road, will cause a consistent deviation from the straight-ahead
path and require constant steering input in the opposite direction to counteract the effect.
Drift/pull may be induced by conditions external to the vehicle (such as wind or road camber).
Poor groove feel is characterized by little or no buildup of turning effort felt in the steering wheel as the wheel
is rocked slowly left and right within very small turns around center or straight-ahead (under 20 degrees of
steering wheel turn). Efforts may be said to be "flat on center."
Under 20 degrees of turn, most of the turning effort that builds up comes from the mesh of gear teeth
in the steering gear. In this range, the steering wheel is not yet turned enough to feel the effort from
the self-aligning forces at the road wheel or tire patch.
In the diagnosis of a steering or alignment concern, it is important to understand the difference
between wander and poor groove feel.
Suspension System

Safety Precautions
WARNING: Vehicle may have multiple drive wheels. Do not use engine to power the driveline
unless all drive wheels are elevated off the ground. Drive wheels in contact with ground could cause
unexpected vehicle movement. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Always match the tire size to the wheel size during assembly. Incorrect matching can
result in tire bead damage or tire separation from the wheel. Failure to follow this instruction may
result in serious personal injury to technician or vehicle occupant(s).
WARNING: Before servicing any tire, ask the customer if anyone injected a tire sealant into the tire.
Tire sealants may be flammable and can burn or explode if exposed to an ignition source. Failure to
follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Replacement wheels must be equivalent to the original equipment wheels in:
Combined load carrying capacity of replacement wheels for a given axle, must be equal to or greater than that
axle's gross axle weight rating (GAWR) identified on the vehicle's Safety Compliance Certification label. All
other specifications should be evaluated by measurement of both the original wheel and the replacement
wheel. If specifications are not equivalent, the safety and handling of the vehicle may be degraded, which may
result in serious injury to the vehicle occupant(s).
WARNING: Always wear eye protection when servicing a vehicle. Failure to follow this instruction
may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Keep eyes away from valve stem when deflating tires. Reduce air pressure in tire as
much as possible by pushing in valve core plunger prior to removing the core. Escaping air can carry
particles that can injure the eyes. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal
injury.
WARNING: Only use replacement tires that are the same size, load index, speed rating and type
(such as P-metric versus LT-metric or all-season versus all-terrain) as those originally provided by
Ford. The recommended tire and wheel size may be found on either the Safety Compliance
Certification Label or the Tire Label, which is located on the B-pillar or edge of the driver's door. If the
information is not found on these labels, consult a Ford dealer. Use of any tire or wheel not
recommended by Ford can affect the safety and performance of the vehicle, which could result in an
increased risk of loss of vehicle control, vehicle rollover, personal injury and death. Additionally, the
use of non-recommended tires and wheels could cause steering, suspension, axle or transfer case/power
transfer unit failure.
NOTICE: Do not clean aluminum wheels with steel wool, abrasive-type cleaners or strong detergents or
damage to the wheel finish may occur. Use Wheel and Tire Cleaner ZC-37-A or -B or equivalent.
Factory-installed tires and wheels are designed to operate satisfactorily with loads up to and including
full-rated load capacity when inflated to recommended inflation pressures.
Correct tire pressure and driving techniques have an important influence on tire life. Heavy cornering,
excessively rapid acceleration and unnecessary sharp braking increase tire wear.
NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also identified as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).
The SJB contains the TPMS functionality. Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) in Diagnosis
and Testing for TPMS fault diagnosis and repair.
The SJB compares the information of each tire pressure sensor transmission against a pressure limit. If the
SJB determines that the tire pressure has fallen below the low limit, the SJB communicates this to the IC on
the vehicle communication bus.
The SJB monitors the air pressure in the 4 road tires with tire pressure sensors. The sensors transmit radio
frequency signals to the SJB approximately every 60 seconds when the vehicle speed exceeds 32 km/h (20
mph).
The tire pressure sensors are battery operated and are mounted to the valve stem.
The IC illuminates the TPMS indicator when it receives a message from the TPMS to do so and displays the
appropriate message(s) in the message center (if equipped).
The IC and message center are diagnosed and serviced in their own respective workshop manual sections.
Refer to the appropriate section in Group 413 for the procedure.

changing the speedometer calibration. Make sure wheel size and offsets match those recommended for the tire
in use.
1. Inspect the tires for signs of uneven wear. Refer to the following descriptions to identify the type of
wear and GO to Symptom Chart - Tire Wear for the appropriate repair action to be carried out.
Install a new valve stem when damage is found or anytime a new tire is installed.
4. Tread wear indicators are molded into the bottom of the tread grooves. Install a new tire when the
indicator bands become less than 2/32 inch.
Tire Wear
Tire wear is commonly defined as a loss of tread depth. Tire tread wear occurs due to friction with the contact
surface (road/pavement). The tread should wear down uniformly all the way around the circumference of the
tire and all the way across the tread face. When this does not occur, the tire may have abnormal/incorrect
wear.
Normal tire wear is identified as even wear around and across the tread. Because there are many factors
(driving style, road surfaces, type of vehicle, type of tire) that can affect tire wear, there is no absolute mileage
expectation for a normal wear condition. A tire is considered worn-out when the tread has worn to the level of
the tread-wear indicators.
Abnormal/incorrect tire wear is identified as tire wear that is not even around or across the tread and that
creates performance-related issues.
Abnormal/incorrect wear can be caused by numerous factors, some of which include driving style (aggressive,
passive), climate (hot, cold), road conditions, vehicle loading and maintenance (correct tire pressure, rotation
intervals and balance). It is important to determine the root cause of wear on a vehicle before carrying out
repair. Tires exhibiting abnormal/incorrect tire wear may still be serviceable provided that the minimum tread
depth is greater than 2/32 inch and the tire is not causing a vehicle performance (noise/vibration) concern.
Inner edge (or shoulder) wear occurs on the inside edge of the tire and is usually caused by excessive toe out
and/or excessive negative camber. If the tread depth of the outer shoulder is at least 50% greater than the tread
depth of the inner shoulder, the tire is experiencing inner edge/shoulder wear. To determine whether tires have
this type of wear, visually inspect the tires. In some instances, it may be necessary to measure the tread depth
of each rib and compare it to that of the shoulder.
Outer edge (or shoulder) wear occurs on the outside edge of the tire and is usually caused by excessive toe in
and/or excessive positive camber. If the tread depth of the inner shoulder is at least 50% greater than the tread
depth of the outer shoulder, the tire is experiencing outer edge/shoulder wear. To determine whether tires have
this type of wear, visually inspect the tires. In some instances, it may be necessary to measure the tread depth
of each rib and compare it to that of the shoulder.
Heel/Toe Wear
Heel/toe wear (also known as feathering) occurs along the outside or inside edge/shoulder of the tire. To
determine whether tires have this type of wear, visually inspect the tires in both the inside and outside
shoulder ribs. In some instances, it may be necessary to measure the difference in tread depth of leading
versus trailing edge of each lug in the inside and outside shoulder rib.
Diagonal wear occurs diagonally across the tread area and around the circumference of the tire. To determine
whether tires have this type of wear, visually inspect the tires to determine if the wear pattern runs diagonally
across the tread and around the circumference of the tire. In some instances, the difference in tread depth
along the diagonal wear pattern may need to be measured.

Component Tests
Radial Runout
Radial runout is the egg-shaped deviation from a perfect circle and is measured perpendicular to the
circumference. On a wheel and tire assembly, this means measuring the center tire tread rib. The center rib is
indicative of the condition of the tire as a whole. Total runout is the difference between the
maximum-to-minimum gauge reading. The high spot is the location of maximum runout.
Item Description
1 High spot
2 Low spot
Loaded Runout Measurement (Hunter Road Force 9700 Series Wheel Balancer)
NOTE: Diagnosis of tire/wheel vibration should not be performed on tires with less than 320 km (200 mi).
Some initial tire/wheel vibration issues (such as flat spotting) will correct themselves after the tires have been
in service for 320 km (200 mi).
This procedure is intended to assist with the diagnosis of wheel and tire assembly runout and/or force
variation issues.
The Hunter Road Force 9700 Series Wheel Balancer measures the wheel and tire assembly's loaded runt and
the tire's radial spring rate. The balancer then converts the runout into pounds of force (termed as Road
Force). Measuring loaded runout (Road Force) is more effective than measuring unloaded runout using a
dial indicator.
1. Using a tire crayon, record the vehicle position on the inward sidewall of all 4 tires.
2. Remove the wheel and tire assemblies. For additional information, refer to Wheel and Tire in this
section.
3. NOTE: Use only the Digital Tire Pressure Gauge any time tire pressures are measured to be sure that
accurate values are obtained.
Make sure that the tire pressures are set to the correct pressure as indicated on the Vehicle
Certification (VC) label.
4. NOTICE: Make sure that the correct wheel balancer adapters are used when mounting the
assembly to the wheel balancer or damage to the wheel may occur.
NOTE: Make sure that the wheel and tire assembly is clean and free of foreign material prior to
installation on the balancer.
NOTE: The wheel balancer inflation station must be turned OFF for tires with inflation pressures of
414 kPa (60 psi) or above.
Mount the wheel and tire assembly on a suitable wheel balancer using the correct wheel balancer
adapters as shown. Rer to the list of recommended wheel balancer adapters on the PTS website.

NOTE: Diagnosis of tire/wheel vibration should not be performed on tires with less than 320 km (200 mi).
Some initial tirel vibration issues (such as flat spotting) will correct themselves after the tires have been in
service for 320 km (200 mi).
NOTE: Loaded run-out measurements are the preferred method for verifying tire serviceability. While a dial
indicator can be used to optimize the position of the tire on the wheel the unloaded run-out measurement
cannot accurately determine if the tire should be removed from service.
The following procedures should be used if normal diagnostics leads to a potential runout issue.
Some vehicles may exhibit a wheel and tire vibration caused by excessive runout. Radial runout
measurements can be taken using a dial indicator and should be measured with the wheel and tire assembly
mounted on a suitable wheel balancer. The dial indicator should be mounted securely to eliminate gauge
movement when measuring runout.
1. NOTE: Use only the Digital Tire Pressure Gauge any time tire pressures are measured to be sure that
accurate values are obtained.
Make sure that the tire pressures are set to the correct pressure as indicated on the VC label.
2. Using a tire crayon, record the vehicle position on the inward sidewall of all 4 tires.
3. Remove the wheel and tire assemblies. Refer to Wheel and Tire in this section.
NOTE: Make sure that the wheel and tire assembly is clean and free of foreign material prior to
installation on the balancer.
Mount the wheel and tire assembly on a suitable wheel balancer using the correct wheel balancer
adapters as shown. Refer to the list of recommended wheel balancer adapters on the PTS website.

5. NOTE: Masking tape can be applied on the center tread rib to allow for a smoother measuring
surface. Some fluctuation of the gauge reading is expected. Observe the overall sweep of the gauge
from the highest to the lowest spot on the tire.
Position the dial indicator and stand with the dial indicator on the center tread rib.
Rotate the wheel and tire assembly (or wheel) to locate the low spot.
Adjust the runout gauge to read 0.
Rotate the wheel and tire assembly one complete revolution to make sure that the low spot
has been found and that the dial indicator returns to a 0 reading.
6. While slowly and constantly rotating the wheel and tire assembly (or wheel), measure the radial
runout.
Match Mounting
Match mounting is a technique used to reduce radial runout or road force on wheel and tire assemblies.
Excessive runout is a source of ride quality complaints and match mounting can be used to minimize the
runout. Match mounting can be accomplished by changing the position of the tire on the wheel.
1. Position the wheel and tire assembly on a tire machine and put a reference mark on the tire sidewall at
the valve stem position.
Item Description
1 Valve stem
2 Reference mark
2. NOTICE: For tires equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), the sensor,
cradle and strap may be damaged by incorrect tire mounting or dismounting. Dismount the tire
from the wheel as instructed in the Disassembly and Assembly procedure. Failure to follow
these instructions may result in TPMS component damage.
NOTE: Always make sure that the final high spot and measurement values are permanently marked
on the inward sidewall of the tire for reference during future wheel and tire service.
Using a suitable tire machine, separate the tire beads from the wheel.
Lubricate the tire beads using a suitable fast drying, corrosion inhibiting tire bead lubricant.
3. Re-inflate the wheel and tire assembly to the specified air pressure and measure the assembly again
using the dial indicator or Hunter Road Force 9700 Series Wheel Balancer. Mark the second high
spot on the tire.
If the runout or Road Force is reduced to within specifications, the concern has been
resolved. Balance the assembly and install on the vehicle using the Wheel-to-Hub
Optimization procedure.
4. If the second runout or Road Force measurement is still not within specification and both high spots
are close to each other (within 101.6 mm [4 in]), the root cause is probably the tire (the high spot
followed the tire).
To be SURE that the tire is causing the high runout, it is necessary to have 2 runout or Road
Force measurements that are not within specification and the high spots must be in
approximately the same location on the tire's sidewall. If the tire is the cause, install a new
tire, balance the assembly and install on the vehicle using the Wheel-to-Hub Optimization
procedure.
If the second high spot is not within 101.6 mm (4 in) of the first high spot, proceed to the next
step.
Item Descript
1 First high spot on the tire
2 Second high spot on the tire
5. If the second high spot is still above specification and is within 101.6 mm (4 in) of being opposite the
first high spot on the wheel, the root cause is probably the wheel (the high spot followed the wheel).
Dismount the tire from the wheel, mount the wheel on a balancer and check the wheel runout. If the
wheel runout exceeds 1.14 mm (0.045 in), install a new wheel, balance the assembly and install on the
vehicle using the Wheel-to-Hub Optimization procedure.
Item Description
1 First high spot on the tire
2 Second high spot on the tire
6. NOTE: If the second high spot did not follow the wheel or the tire and the runout is still not within
specification, improvements may be made by rotating the tire 90 degrees (one-fourth turn).
Draw an arrow on the tire sidewall from the second high spot towards the first high spot (in the
shortest direction).
Separate the tire beads from the wheel and rotate the tire 90 degrees (one-fourth turn) in the
direction of the arrow.
Item Description
1 First high spot on the tire
2 Second high spot on the tire
Wheel-to-Hub Optimization
Wheel-to-hub optimization is important. Clearance between the wheel and hub can be used to offset or
neutralize the Road Force or run-out of the wheel and tire assembly. For every 0.001 in of wheel-to-hub
clearance, the Road Force can be affected between 1 and 3 pounds depending on the tire stiffness.
NOTE: The example below illustrates how the clearance between the wheel and the hub can be used to offset
the high spot of radial run-out or Road Force. Following the procedure will ensure the best optimization.
1. Position the wheel and tire assembly on the vehicle so that the high spot location is at the 6 o'clock
position and install the wheel nuts by hand until snug.
2. NOTE: Do not allow the full weight of the vehicle to rest on the tires while tightening the wheel nuts.
Lower the vehicle until the tires make contact with the grou slightly loading the suspension. Tighten
the wheel nuts as described in Wheel and Tire in this section.
SECTION 204-04: Wheels and Tires 2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Procedure revision date: 08/12/2010
Special Tool(s)
Principles of Operation
NOTE: The Smart Junction Box (SJB) is also referred to as the Generic Electronic Module (GEM).
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all 4 road tires. The
wheel-mounted tire pressure sensors transmit via radio frequency signals, to the SJB . TPMS functionality is
integral to the SJB . These transmissions are sent approximately every 60 seconds when the vehicle speed
exceeds 32 km/h (20 mph). The TPMS function compares each tire pressure sensor transmission against a
low-pressure limit. If it has been determined that the tire pressure has fallen below this limit, the SJB
communicates this on the vehicle communication bus to the Instrument Cluster (IC). The IC then illuminates
the TPMS indicator and displays the appropriate message(s) in the message center (if equipped).
For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as the E-Series and certain F-Series), the tire
pressures must be adjusted and the tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to
train the sensors will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate.
For vehicles with the same tire pressures for front and rear tires, tire rotation will not affect the system.
WARNING: The tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensor battery may release hazardous
chemicals if exposed to extreme mechanical damage. If these chemicals contact the skin or eyes, flush
immediately with water for a minimum of 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention. If any part of
the battery is swallowed, contact a physician immediately. When disposing of TPMS sensors, follow the
correct procedures for hazardous material disposal. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious personal injury.
NOTICE: Do not inflate tire higher than maximum pressure stamped on tire sidewall. Premature tire
wear or damage to the tire may result.
Tire pressures fluctuate with temperature changes. For this reason, tire pressure must be set to specification
when tires are at outdoor ambient temperatures. If the vehicle is allowed to warm up to shop temperatures, and
the outside temperature is less than shop temperature, the tire inflation pressure must be adjusted accordingly.
If the tires are inflated to specification at shop temperatures, and the vehicle is moved outdoors when the
outdoor ambient temperature is significantly lower, the tire pressure may drop enough to be detected by the
TPMS and activate the TPMS warning lamp.
As the ambient temperature decreases by 6C (10F), tire pressure decreases 7 kPa (1 psi). Adjust the tire
pressure by 7 kPa (1 psi) for each 6C (10F) ambient temperature drop as necessary to keep the tire at the
specified Vehicle Certification (VC) label pressure. Refer to the following tables to adjust the tire pressure
indoors for colder outside temperatures.
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Indicator and Message Center Messages
The TPMS indicator and vehicle message center (if equipped) sometimes displays faults that cannot be
resolved by the customer. Treat these messages as TPMS faults that must be serviced.
NOTE: If the spare tire is in use, the damaged road tire must be repaired and installed on the vehicle to
restore complete TPMS functionality before carrying out any diagnosis.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as E-Series and certain F-Series), the
tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the sensors will result in a false
low tire pressure event, which will cause the TPMS indicator to illuminate.
2. NOTE: The TPMS sensors do not transmit when the vehicle is stationary. If the vehicle has been
stationary for more than 30 minutes, it will be necessary to wake up the sensors so they will transmit
the latest tire pressure information to the SJB .
If the vehicle has been stationary for more than 30 minutes, carry out the Tire Pressure Monitoring
System (TPMS) Sensor Activation procedure in this section.
The TPMS indicator flashes for 70 seconds, then remains ON solid when the ignition swch is turned to the
ON position, for the following conditions:
1. Tire Pressure Sensor Fault - If equipped, the message center will display TIRE PRESSURE SENSOR
FAULT when a tire pressure sensor is malfunctioning. GO to Symptom Chart .
2. No communication with the SJB ( TPMS is integral to the SJB ) - The TPMS indicator is illuminated
when the IC has not received any signals from the SJB for more than 5 seconds. If equipped, the
message center displays TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR FAULT. GO to Som Chart .
3. Tire Pressure Monitor Fault - If equipped, the message center will display TIRE PRESSURE
MONITOR FAULT when the TPMS is malfunctioning or communication with the IC has been lost.
GO to Symptom Chart .
Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) PID Definitions and Intermittent Troubleshooting
The SJB monitors the TPMS status. The current status can be viewed by accessing the TPMS status PID:
TP_STAT using the scan tool. This helps identify the current system status and may aid in diagnosing the
system. The PID has 4 valid states:
3. TP_STAT = LOW.
If the module has detected that at least 1 TPMS sensor is reporting low tire pressure, the PID
displays LOW.
The TPMS uses the TPMS last warning event PIDs to store detailed information about the last 5 times the
TPMS warning indicator was activated. These PIDs can be used to acquire more information about a
particular TPMS event.
The number of key cycles since the TPMS warning indicator was activated. This PID cycles from zero to 255
and then starts over from zero again. This can be used to determine how long ago a TPMS event occurred and
the time (in key cycles) between events.
This is the last programmed location for the sensor identifier causing each TPMS event. Due to tire rotation,
the sensor may no longer be at the original location. It is suggested that all the PIDs be recorded, the system
retrained, and then the sensor identifier PIDs be used to pinpoint the actual location of each sensor.
This is the tire pressure associated with each TPMS warning indicator event. This can be used along with the
function code to clearly identify the TPMS events that were strictly due to low pressure. It can also be used to
determine when a sensor is transmitting inaccurate tire pressure.
Describes the warning status of each TPMS event by using the information received from the TPMS status
(TP_STAT) PID. If there is a communication issue, the status could be Normal.
Unknown
Normal (normal operation)
Low (low pressure event)
Fault (sensor fault or system fault)
This is the identifier of the sensor involved in each TPMS event. EVT1 is the most recent event that triggered
the TPMS warning indicator.
If a sensor in a certain location has caused several events, yet the sensor trains and seems to operate normally,
moving that particular wheel to a different location on the vehicle is a good way to isolate the issue to a
certain sensor/wheel location. Rotate the wheels and road test the vehicle. This can be done in an attempt to
replicate the issue. This determines if the issue followed the sensor or remained in the original sensor location.
This is a technique to get past a left front sensor that may not be responding to determine if the remaining
sensors train to the module. This can help save time determining if other sensors are having issues or if the
module is experiencing training difficulties with a certain location.
Training known good sensors from another vehicle cannot differentiate between a faulted module and Radio
Frequency Interference (RFI), as some noise source could be preventing the module from receiving the tire
pressure status from the original sensors as well as the known good sensors. This technique that can be used to
differentiate between a sensor and module issue. If the module in the vehicle cannot train any of its own
sensors, and likewise cannot train known good sensors from another vehicle, then the issue is with the module
or the RFI , and not with the original sensors. The original sensors should not be replaced.
Non-OEM Equipment
Video equipment has been found to cause RFI especially when the video and power supply lines are
near the TPMS .
Car alarms (even those installed by dealerships) have been found to create enough RFI to cause the
TPMS to malfunction or lose considerable range. These car alarms can sometimes be difficult to
locate, as they are usually hidden somewhere out of the way for reduced accessibility.
Many different in-vehicle cell phone chargers have been found to cause considerable RFI . The
vehicles with the power point closest to the TPM are the most affected. It must be noted that most cell
phone chargers do not produce high levels of RFI all the time. This depends on the state of charge of
the cell phone battery. The phone must be almost completely discharged in some cases.
Power supplies and DC/AC inverters typically create a lot of RFI . Most consumer grade equipment
has very little filtering or shielding.
OEM Modules
In some cases, the RFI may actually be caused by a module or ground on the vehicle. Depending on the
severity of the issue, a dirty ground, improperly built ground shield or module can disable the system.
Modules that have microcontrollers using clock circuits to create the timing pulses for the microprocessor
may radiate RFI .
Using Customer's Electronics to Pinpoint the Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) Source
This can be a way to determine the cause of an issue well before the sensors and module are replaced with
little or no affect on the system performance. Since this takes more up-front work, it relies on working with
the customer to determine what equipment was being used at the time of the event.
If an OEM component or customer device is causing an RFI issue, replace the device.
If a phone charger is causing an RFI issue, the customer should consult their cell phone provider to
acquire a different phone charger.
If a device such as a dealer-installed alarm is causing an RFI issue, move the device to another
location on the vehicle. In the case of a portable device, move the power cord to another power point
location.
In summary, if the RFI source is present and cannot be moved or replaced, the intermittent issue remains. The
vehicle owner must accept RFI and the unwanted system operation it can cause.
1. NOTE: The tire pressure sensors are not designed to be used with aftermarket wheels.
NOTE: The use of run-flat tires (tires with steel body cord plies in the tire sidewall) where not
originally equipped, may cause the TPMS to malfunction and is therefore not recommended.
Verify the customer concern by inspecting the vehicle and observing the message center (if equipped)
and the TPMS indicator.
2. NOTE: The valve-mounted TPMS sensors and the strap-mounted TPMS sensors are not compatible.
Swapping wheels from one vehicle to another with the different systems will adversely affect TPMS
operation.
NOTE: Swapping wheels between vehicles with the same TPMS will cause a TPMS fault to be set if
the sensors are not trained. Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training in this
section.
NOTE: Non-OEM modifications made to the vehicle may result in false TPMS warnings.

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before
proceeding to the next step.
4. NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.
If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
5. NOTE: The Vehicle Communication Module (VCM) LED prove out confirms power and ground
from the DLC are provided to the VCM .

Normal Operation
The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) monitors the air pressure of all 4 road tires. The
wheel-mounted tire pressure sensors transmit via radio frequency signals, to the Smart Junction Box (SJB).
TPMS functionality is integral to the SJB . These transmissions are sent approximately every 60 seconds
when the vehicle speed exceeds 32 km/h (20 mph). The TPMS function (integral to the SJB ) compares each
tire pressure sensor transmission against a low-pressure limit. If it has been determined that the tire pressure
has fallen below this limit, the SJB communicates this on the vehicle communication bus to the Instrument
Cluster (IC). The IC then illuminates the TPMS indicator and displays the appropriate message(s) in the
message center (if equipped).
This symptom can also be caused by a spare tire currently being used in place of a road tire. Make sure that
the spare tire is not currently in use. On vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures, if the sensors are
not trained following a tire rotation, this symptom will also be present. Advise the customer that on vehicles
with different front and rear tire pressures, the sensors must be trained as directed in the Owner's Literature.

NOTE: Use only the Digital Tire Gauge any time tire pressures are measured to be sure that accurate values
are obtained.
Pinpoint Test E: Smart Junction Box (SJB) Will Not Enter Sensor Training Mode When Using the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training Procedure
Normal Operation
For the Smart Junction Box (SJB) to enter Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) sensor training mode,
the SJB must receive valid inputs from the brake ON/OFF switch (OFF-ON-OFF) and ignition switch (both
OFF and RUN), and it must receive valid vehicle speed sensor input (0 km/h [0 mph]) from the Instrument
Cluster (IC). Refer to Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Sensor Training in this section for the
complete sensor training procedure.

GENERAL PROCEDURES Procedure revision date: 03/08/2012
Special Tool(s)
NOTE: The Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) Training procedure must be done on a single vehicle,
in an area without radio frequency noise and at least 1 m (3 ft) away from other vehicles equipped with a Tire
Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS).
Radio frequency noise is generated by electrical motors and appliance operation, cellular telephones, remote
transmitters, power inverters and portable entertainment equipment.
NOTE: If a sensor does not respond to the Tire Pressure Monitor Activation Tool, move the vehicle to rotate
the wheels at least one-fourth of a turn and attempt to activate the same sensor again. If the sensor still does
not respond, attempt to activate the same sensor again using the customer activation tool (if available). If the
sensor still fails to train, attempt to train the sensor with the vehicle doors open.
NOTE: The BCM has a 2-minute time limit between sensor responses. If the BCM does not recognize any 1
of the 4 tire pressure sensors during this time limit, the horn will sound twice and the message center (if
equipped) will display TIRE NOT TRAINED REPEAT and the entire procedure must be repeated.
NOTE: For vehicles with different front and rear tire pressures (such as the E-Series and certain F-Series), the
tire pressure sensors must be trained following a tire rotation. Failure to train the sensors will cause the TPMS
indicator to illuminate. For vehicles with the same tire pressure for front and rear tires, tire rotation will not
affect the system.
Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position, then press and release the brake pedal.
2. Cycle the ignition switch from the OFF position to the RUN position 3 times, ending in the RUN

SECTION 204-05: Vehicle Dynamic Suspension 2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Procedure revision date: 03/04/2011
Special Tool(s)
Principles of Operation
WARNING: Shut off the electrical power to the air suspension system prior to hoisting or jacking
an air suspension equipped vehicle. Failure to do so may result in unexpected inflation or deflation of
the air springs, which may result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Vent all air pressure from the air suspension system prior to disconnecting or
removing any air suspension components. It is dangerous to remove air suspension components while
under pressure. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Always inflate air springs before loading the suspension. If a load is applied to an
uninflated air spring, the spring may be damaged and a new air spring will have to be installed.
Damaged springs degrade vehicle handling, which could result in serious injury to vehicle occupant(s).
WARNING: Inspect the air spring for correct shape after it has been inflated with the wheels off the
ground and the suspension unloaded. A deformed air spring could fail. Failure to follow this instruction
may result in serious injury to the technician or vehicle occupant(s).
The air suspension system is designed to improve ride handling and general vehicle driving performance. A
microprocessor controls the air suspension system. The microprocessor and the supporting hardware are
contained in the Vehicle Dynamics Module (VDM). The VDM responds to signals from various sensors in the
vehicle to maintain the programmed ride height while the vehicle is either moving or stopped. This is
accomplished by opening and closing the solenoid valves to control the amount of air in the air spring(s). The
VDM controls the air compressor by applying voltage through the compressor relay to inflate the air spring(s)
and raise the vehicle. The VDM opens the vent solenoid to lower the vehicle by releasing air from the air
spring(s) in response to signal inputs from the air suspension height sensor. The VDM has a preprogramming
trim height.
The load leveling feature automatically makes adjustments in vehicle height so that the vehicle is always at
target height and constant front-to-rear vehicle attitudes are maintained over the load range of the vehicle.
The system will remain active for 40 minutes after the ignition is turned off to make limited height
adjustments as necessary.
The air suspension system can be disabled through the message center. Refer to Air Suspension System
Disable/Enable in this section. When the driver elects to disable the air suspension system, the message center
sends a message over the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN) bus to the VDM . Once the
message is received, the VDM will take no further action to inflate or deflate the air springs, below 15 mph.
The system will remain ON or OFF when the ignition key is cycled.
When the air suspension system has been disabled, the message center will display SUSPENSION
SWITCHED OFF.
Air Compressor
consists of the compressor and vent solenoid; neither are serviced as individual items.
is a single cylinder electric motor driven unit that provides pressurized air as required.
is powered by an electromechanical relay, which is controlled by the VDM .
passes pressurized air through the compressor air drier that contains silica gel (a drying agent).
Moisture is then removed from the compressor air drier when vented air passes out of the system
during vent operation.
has a single port drier that can be serviced separately.
Air Spring
The air suspension system has 2 rear air springs. The air springs provide a varying spring rate proportional to
the system air pressure and volume. The air suspension system regulates the air pressure in each air spring by
compressing and venting the air. Increasing air pressure (compressing) raises the vehicle; decreasing air
pressure (venting) lowers the vehicle. Vehicle height is maintained by the addition and removal of air in each
air spring through an air spring solenoid installed in the upper spring cap and energized through the VDM .
NOTE: Apply a soapy water solution to the air tubes to verify the location of air leaks. If the air tubes are cut,
ruptured or leaking, a service repair kit is available.
There are 2 suspension height sensors used for the rear suspension. The sensors send a voltage signal to the
VDM . The output ranges from approximately 4.5 volts at minimum height (when the vehicle is low or in full
jounce) to 0.5 volt at maximum height (when the vehicle is high or in full rebound).
The sensors have a usable range of 45 degrees. The sensors are mounted to the suspension at a point where
full suspension travel at the wheel is relative to the travel at the height sensor. The sensors are mounted to the
frame and the link is attached to a ball stud on the lower suspension arm. The left and right sensors have
opposite polarity and are not interchangeable.
When the height sensor indicates that the vehicle is lower than trim under normal driving conditions, the air
compressor will turn on and pump compressed air to the system. When the sensor indicates that the vehicle is
raised above trim under normal driving conditions, this will cause the air to be vented from the system to
lower the vehicle to the trim height level.
Compressor Relay
An electromechanical relay is used in the air suspension system for compressor control. The relay switches
high current loads in response to low power signals and is controlled by the VDM .
The compressor relay is energized by the VDM to have high current flow from the battery to the compressor
motor.
NOTICE: The Vehicle Dynamics Module (VDM) mut receive a ride height adjustment calibration and
pass a pneumatic test when it is installed new or swapped. Failure to follow these instructions will result
in the air suspension system operating incorrectly.
The VDM controls the air compressor motor (through an electromechanical relay), all air spring solenoids and
provides power to the rear height sensors. The VDM also controls vehicle height adjustments by monitoring
the 2 height sensors and other HS-CAN messages. The VDM conducts all fail-safe and diagnostic strategies
and contains self-test and communication software for testing the vehicle and related components.
The VDM monitors and controls the air suspension system through an 8-pin connector and a 16-pin
connector. The connectors and the VDM are keyed so that the connectors cannot be plugged in incorrectly.
The VDM uses the HS-CAN communications network for sending and receiving various information.
WARNING: Vent all air pressure from the air suspension system prior to disconnecting or
removing any air suspension components. It is dangerous to remove air suspension components while
under pressure. Failure to follow this instruction may result in serious personal injury.

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 41 , Vehicle Dynamic Suspension for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
The Vehicle Dynamics Module (VDM) will command the air suspension system vent solenoid ON or OFF
when certain conditions are met. The VDM supplies voltage to the vent solenoid through circuit CCL14
(BN/VT), which activates the vent solenoid and vents the air suspension system. The vent solenoid is
grounded through circuit GD123 (BK/GY).
The vent solenoid is part of the air suspension compressor, if a new vent solenoid is needed, an air suspension
compressor must be installed.
DTC C1770 (Air Suspension Vent Solenoid Output Circuit Failure) - With the ignition in the RUN
position and during a deflate (vent) activity, if the VDM detects an open, a short to voltage or a short

Normal Operation
The 2 rear height sensors receive a 5-volt reference voltage from the Vehicle Dynamics Module (VDM) along
circuit LCL12 (VT/OG), both sensors share a common return path along circuit RCL12 (GN/WH). The RR
sensor sends the suspension height voltage back to the VDM along circuit VCL12 (WH/VT). The LR sensor
sends the suspension height voltage back to the module along circuit VCL13 (BN/BU). The VDM monitors
the 2 height sensors and makes adjustments to the rear suspension based on sensor input.

NOTICE: Use the Flex Probe Kit for all test connections to prevent damage to the wiring terminals. Do
not use standard multi-meter probes.
Pinpoint Test G: The Air Compressor Runs Continuously With the Ignition Switch in the OFF Position
and No DTC is Set
Normal Operation
With the air suspension system activated and the ignition switch in the ON position, the Vehicle Dynamics
Module (VDM) uses input from the 2 suspension height sensors to determine if vehicle payload has changed
enough to warrant the adjustment of the rear suspension. If an adjustment is necessary, the VDM will open the
air spring solenoids and activate the air compressor to inflate the air springs and raise the rear suspension. To
deflate the air springs and lower the rear suspension, the VDM will open the air spring solenoids and activate
the vent solenoid.
With the air suspension system deactivated and the ignition switch in the OFF position, the VDM will ignore
height sensor input and not adjust the rear suspension. When only the ignition switch is placed in the OFF
position, the VDM will remain powered for approximately 40 minutes to allow the system to adjust the rear
suspension due to changes in vehicle payload. The system can deflate (vent) at any time during these 40
minutes and will only inflate (pump) once during the last 30 seconds, if necessary. Once the 40 minutes has
elapsed, the VDM will depower and ignore any height sensor input until the ignition switch is placed in the
ON position.
To activate the air compressor, the VDM supplies voltage to the air compressor relay along circuit CCL01
(WH/VT). This voltage passes through the coil side of the relay and to ground along circuit GD123 (BK/GY),
which energizes the relay. The switch side of the relay receives fused battery voltage from Battery Junction
Box (BJB) fuse 19 (60A) along circuit SBB19 (BU/RD). When the relay is energized, the switch side closes
and this fused battery voltage is sent to the air compressor along circuit CCL08 (BU/BN). The voltage passes
through the air compressor and to ground along circuit GD123 (BK/GY), which activates the air compressor.

SBB48 (VT/RD), and fused ignition circuit through BJB fuse 53 (10A) along circuit CBB53 (GY/BN). A
ground path is provided for the module along circuit GD120 (BK/GN). The VDM communicates with the
other modules along the High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN). The VDM must receive inputs
from several different components before it will allow the vehicle dynamic suspension system to operate.

Normal Operation
The Vehicle Dynamics Module (VDM) will activate the air compressor once certain conditions are met. To
activate the air compressor, the VDM supplies voltage to the air compressor relay along circuit CCL01
(WH/VT). This voltage passes through the coil side of the relay and to ground along GD123 (BK/GY), which
energizes the relay. The switch side of the relay receives fused battery voltage from Battery Junction Box
(BJB) fuse 19 (60A) along circuit SBB19 (BU/RD). When the relay is energized, the switch side closes and
this fused battery voltage is sent to the air compressor along circuit CCL08 (BU/BN). The voltage passes
through the air compressor and to ground along circuit GD123 (BK/GY), which activates the air compressor.
To protect the air compressor from damage due to excessive run time and heat build up, the air compressor
assembly contains a temperature sensitive, thermal circuit breaker and the VDM contains software to monitor
how long the compressor has been running. The circuit breaker will protect the compressor from damage due
to overheating by disabling the compressor when the compressor reaches a pre-determined temperature
threshold. Once the compressor has been disabled and has had sufficient time to cool (approximately 15
minutes), the circuit breaker will reset and allow the compressor to function. The VDM will also monitor the
amount of time the air compressor runs. Once the run time has reached a pre-determined limit, the VDM will
set DTC C1964 and disable the air compressor until it has had sufficient time to cool down.

The source of the drivetrain's power is generated by the engine and delivered to the transmission. The
driveline transfers the engine torque through the driveshaft to the axle.
On Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) vehicles, power is transmitted through the transmission to the
driveshaft and then to the rear axle.
On Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) vehicles, power is transmitted through the transmission and the transfer
case. The transfer case directs the power to the rear driveshaft and then to the rear axle. When
engaged, it also transmits power through the front driveshaft to the front axle.
The rear driveshaft is connected to the output shaft of the transmission or transfer case and to the rear axle.
Thont driveshaft is connected to the transfer case and to the front axle. For Expedition, slip yokes are used to
allow for any changes to the length of the driveshaft. Navigator RWD vehicles use a fixed flange at the
transmission with a flex coupling. Changes in length are self adjusted up in the driveshaft slip mechanism.
The engine torque enters the axle through the drive pinion, which rotates the ring gear. The ring gear is
mounted to the differential case, which contains the gears that transmit power to the rear axle halfshafts or
front halfshafts. These halfshafts rotate the drive wheels.
Axle Identification
The axle ratio may be verified by checking the printed label on the axle housing. If worn or not visible, the
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) can be typed in the service parts ordering system or the Vehicle
Certification (VC) label may be used to correctly identify the axle and ratio. Refer to the chart below.
The VC label is located in the driver door jamb. The first 2 digits of the axle code indicate the rear axle and
the third digit refers to the front axle, if equipped. For information on the VC label, refer to Section 100-01 .

Principles of Operation
The driveline system enables the power generated by the engine and transferred through the transmission and,
if applicable, transfer case, to place the vehicle in motion. Rotational torque received from the transmission or
transfer case is delivered to the front and rear drive axles by way of the driveshafts. The U-joints or CV joints
at the ends of the shafts allow the shafts to rotate smoothly in an allowable angle plane. The rotational torque
is introduced into the axle drive pinion which drives the differential ring gear. The ring gear is bolted to the
differential case flange on the differential. The differential divides therque between the right and left halfshaft
while permitting the halfshafts to turn at different speeds when required, such as when cornering.

Special Tool(s)
Driveshaft Inspection
NOTE: Driveline vibration exhibits a higher frequency and lower amplitude than high-speed shake. Driveline
vibration isrectly related to the speed of the vehicle and is noticed at various speeds. Driveline vibration can
be perceived as a tremor in the floorpan or heard as a rumble, hum or boom.
1. NOTE: Do not make any adjustments before carrying out a road test. Do not change the tire pressure
or the vehicle load.
Carry out a visual inspection of the vehicle. Operate the vehicle and verify the condition by
reproducing it during the road test.
The concern should be directly related to vehicle road speed, not affected by acceleration or
deceleration or could not be reduced by coasting in NEUTRAL.
2. With the vehicle in NEUTRAL, position it on a hoist. For additional information, refer to Section
100-02 .
The driveshaft should be kept at an angle equal to or close to the curb-weighted position. Use
a twin-post hoist or a frame hoist with jackstands.
3. Inspect the driveshaft for damage, undercoating or incorrectly seated U-joints. Rotate the driveshaft
slowly by hand and feel for binding or end play in the U-joint trunnions. Remove the driveshaft. For
additional information, refer to Section 205-01 . Inspect the slip yoke splines for any galling, dirt, rust
or incorrect lubrication. Clean the driveshaft or install new U-joints as necessary. Install a new
driveshaft if damaged. After any corrections or new components are installed, recheck for the
vibration at the road test speed.
If the vibration is gone, test drive the vehicle.
If the vibration persists or the driveshaft passes visual inspection, measure the driveshaft
runout.
Driveshaft Runout
1. Install the Dial Indicator Gauge with Holding Fixture. Rotate the driveshaft by turning the axle and
measure the runout at the front, the center and the rear of the driveshaft.
2. NOTE: Circular pinion flanges can be turned in 90 degree or one-fourth increments. Half-round
pinion flanges are limited to 2 positions.
Index-mark the driveshaft to the pinion flange. Disconnect the driveshaft and rotate it 180 degrees.
Reconnect the driveshaft. Recheck the runout at the rear of the driveshaft.
If the runout is still over specification, mark the high point and proceed to Step 3.
If the runout is within specification, check for the vibration at the road test speed. If the
vibration is still present, balance the driveshaft. For additional information, refer to Driveshaft
Balancing in this procedure.
3. Excessive driveshaft runout can originate in the driveshaft itself or from the pinion flange. To find the
source, compare the 2 high points previously determined.
If the index marks are close together, within 25 mm (1 in), the driveshaft is eccentric. Install a
new driveshaft.
If the marks are on opposite sides of the driveshaft, 180 degrees apart, the slip yoke or pinion
flange is responsible. Check the pinion flange runout. If the pinion flange runout exceeds
specifications, a bent pinion is indicated.
If the pinion flange and pinion runouts are within specifications, road test and check for the
vibration at the road test speed. If the vibration persists, balance the driveshaft. For additional
information, refer to Driveshaft Balancing in this procedure.
Driveshaft Balancing - Using the Mastertech Series MTS 4000 Driveline Balance and NVH Analyzer
(Vetronix)

The sensor should be placed at approximately a 20-degree angle from perpendicular to the surface of
the reflective tape. Make sure the sensor does not get moved during the balance procedure.
1. Reflective tape.
2. Photo-tachometer sensor.
4. Using the Mastertech Series MTS 4000 Driveline Balance and NVH Analyzer (Vetronix), run a
driveshaft balance test with the driveshaft unmodified.
5. Label the tapped holes in the pinion flange numerically, starting at the top hole as 1. Mark the
remaining holes 2, 3 and 4. Label in the direction of rotation.
6. Using the Mastertech Series MTS 4000 Driveline Balance and NVH Analyzer (Vetronix), run a
second test with the 12 mm (0.47 in) test weight set screw in the No. 1 hole, previously marked on the
pinion flange.
7. Remove the test weight, then install the weight combination directed by the Mastertech SeriesS
4000 Driveline Balance and NVH Analyzer (Vetronix).
8. Using the Mastertech Series MTS 4000 Driveline Balance and NVH Analyzer (Vetronix), run a
second test with a test weight. Using a metal band, secure the test weight to the end of the driveshaft.
The weight should be placed at the end of the driveshaft tube, as close to the tube-to-yoke weld seam
as possible. Mark the location of the test weight on the driveshaft, as shown in the figure below.
1. Test weight.
2. Tube-to-yoke weld seam.
3. Driveshaft pinion flange.
9. Remove the test weight, then install the recommended weight at the position directed by the
Mastertech Series MTS 4000 Driveline Balance and NVH Analyzer (Vetronix). Using a metal band
and epoxy, secure the test weight to the driveshaft, as shown in the figure below.
1. Test weight.
2. Measure in this direction.
3. Driveshaft diameter.
4. Dectional rotation.
5. Balance weight relative to test weight centerline.
The results are displayed with respect to the location to where the test weight was placed.
All vehicles
10. Using the Mastertech Series MTS 4000 Driveline Balance and NVH Analyzer (Vetronix), run a
third test to verify the repair.
1. Install 1 or 2 hose clamps on the driveshaft, near the rear. Position of the hose clamp head(s) can be
determined through trial and error.
2. Mark the rear of the driveshaft into 4 approximately equal sectors and number the marks 1 through 4.
Install a hose clamp on the driveshaft with its head at position No. 1, as shown in the figure below.
Check for vibration at road speed. Recheck with the clamp at each of the other positions to find the
position that shows minimum vibration. If 2 adjacent positions show equal improvement, position the
clamp head between them.
3. If the vibration persists, add a second clamp at the same position and recheck for vibration.
4. If no improvement is noted, rotate the clamps in opposite directions, equal distances from the best
position determined in Step 2. Separate the clamp heads about 13 mm (1/2 in) and recheck for
vibration at the road speed.
5. Repeat the process with increasing separation until the best combination is found or the vibration is
reduced to an acceptable level.

NOTE: This procedure does not apply to CV joints, flex couplers or double cardan joints that are used in
some driveshafts. This check is for single-cross and roller-style joints found in the driveshafts.
NOTE: Prior to checking driveline angularity, inspect the U-joints for correct operation.
NOTE: An incorrect driveline angle can cause a vibration or shudder. For additional information, refer to
Section 100-04 .
NOTE: Driveline angularity is the angular relationship between the engine crankshaft, the driveshaft and the
rear axle pinion. Factors determining driveline angularity include ride height, rear spring and engine mounts.
All vehicles
2. NOTE: If equipped, remove the snap ring to allow access to the base of the U-joint cup. Make sure
the Anglemaster II Driveline Inclinometer/Protractor is seated against the U-joint cup.
NOTE: Rotate the driveshaft until the flange U-joint cup is parallel with the floor. This will simplify
taking measurements.
To check the U-joint operating angle, install the Anglemaster II Driveline Inclinometer/Protractor.
Check and record the flange angle as angle A.
3. Using the Anglemaster II Driveline Inclinometer/Protractor, measure the slope of the connecting
component. Record the measurement of the component angle as angle B.
4. NOTE: Repeat this step for each center support bearing on the driveshaft.
NOTE: It is not necessary to remove the U-joint snap ring, if equipped, for these measurements.
Using the Anglemaster II Driveline Inclinometer/Protractor, measure the slope of the components in
front and behind the center support bearing U-joint in the area indicated. Record the front component
as angle A and the rear component as angle B.
All vehicles
5. NOTE: When 2 connected components slope in the same direction, subtract the smallest number
from the larger number to find the U-joint operating angle. When 2 connected components slope in
the opposite direction, add the measurements to find the U-joint operating angle.
Calculate the difference in the slope of the components to determine the U-joint operating angle.
The U-joint operating angle is the angle formed by 2 yokes connected by a cross and bearing
kit. Ideally, the operating angles on each connection of the driveshaft must:
be equal or within one degree of each other.
have a 3 degree maximum operating angle.
have at least one-half of one degree continuous operating angle.
6. If the angle is not within specifications, repair or adjust to obtain the correct angle. Inspect the engine
mounts, transmission mounts, center support bearing mounting, rear suspension, rear axle, rear axle
mounting or the frame for wear or damage.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 08/12/2010
a cast-aluminum center section, a removable cast-aluminum axle housing tube and a differential
housing cover. Both the axle housing tube and the differential housing cover use silicone sealant as a
gasket.
a hypoid-design gearset of an 8.8-inch ring gear and a pinion gear. Two opposed tapered roller
bearings support the drive pinion in the axle housing.
a drive pinion collapsible spacer, located on the pinion shaft, maintains pinion bearing preload. The
pinion nut adjusts the preload.
differential bearing shims, located between the differential bearing cups and the axle housing, adjust
the differential bearing preload and the ring gear backlash.
a differential case, a 1-piece design with 2 openings to allow for assembly of the internal components
and lubricant flow. Two opposed tapered roller bearings (differential bearings) support the differential
case in the axle housing. Removable differential bearing caps retain the differential assembly in the
axle housing.
inside the differential case, the differential pinion shaft supports 2 differential pinion gears. The
pinion gear speed is synchronized by a differential clutch spring. The pinion gears engage the
differential side gears, to which the left axle shaft and the right axle shaft are splined. The differential
pinion shaft bolt retains the differential pinion shaft in the differential case.
an embossed metal tag, bolted to the rear face of the RH axle tube, contains front axle identification
information.
The front drive axle receives input from the transfer case by way of the front driveshaft. Rotational torque is
transferred through the drive pinion to the ring gear, which in turn drives the differential case. Inside the
differential case are the pinion gears which rotate on the stationary pinion shaft and the side gears which are
splined to the axle shafts. The differential assembly is a gear arrangement that allows the drive wheels to be
driven at different speeds and divides the input torque of the pinion gear between the axle halfshafts. The front
axle transmits torque only and carries no vehicle load. CV joints located at each end of the halfshafts allow the
axle to remain stationary in relationship to front wheels, yet articulate at the knuckle. These CV joints permit
the wheels to be driven and turned at the same time. Lack of lubrication is among the most common causes of
CV joint concerns. It is essential that all CV boots and clamps be inspected for damage or signs of leakage.
Refer to Section 205-04 .

Ball and cage housings
A circlip stopper that holds the cross-groove inboard race assembly (inboard CV joint) together
A circlip that retains the splined inboard CV joint to the differential side gear
The front drive halfshafts link the front axle to the front wheel hubs. The CV joints allow the halfshafts to
rotate smoothly through the required changes in angles between the stationary axle and the varying angles of
the front wheels including jounce and rebound plus changes while turning. The CV joints are either tri-lobed
style or the caged ball type depending on inboard or outboard. New halfshaft components are available as kits
containing grease, boots and clamps.
Halfshaft Handling
Handle all halfshaft components carefully during removal and installation and during various component
disassembly and assembly procedures.
Never pick up or hold the halfshaft only by the inboard or outboard CV joint.
Do not overangle the CV joints.
Damage will occur to an assembled inboard CV joint if it is overplunged outward from the joint
housing.
Never use a hammer to remove or install the halfshafts from the hub.
Never use the halfshaft assembly as a lever to position other components. Always support the free end
of the halfshaft.
Do not allow the boots to contact sharp edges or hot exhaust components.
Handle the halfshaft only by the interconnecting shaft to avoid pull-apart and potential damage to the
CV joints.
Excessive pulling force on the interconnecting shaft between joints of the halfshaft will result in
internal joint damage. Axial loads used in assisting removal must be applied through the inboard joint
housing only.
Do not drop assembled halfshafts. The impact will cut the boots from the inside without evidence of
external damage.
Do not remove the outer CV joint by pulling on the interconnecting shaft.
Inspect all machined surfaces and splines for damage.

The RH and LH halfshafts are different lengths, with the LH halfshaft being the longer of the 2.
The rear drive halfshafts link the rear axle to the rear wheel hubs. The CV joints allow the halfshafts to rotate
smoothly through the required changes in angles between the stationary axle and the varying angles of the
front wheels including jounce and rebound plus changes while turning. The CV joints are caged ball type.
New halfshaft components are available as kits containing grease, boots and clamps.
Halfshaft Handling
Handle all halfshaft components carefully during removal and installation and during various component
disassembly and assembly procedures.
Never pick up or hold the halfshaft only by the inboard or outboard CV joint.
Do not overangle the CV joints.
Damage will occur to an assembled inboard CV joint if it is overplunged outward from the joint
housing.
Never use a hammer to remove or install the halfshafts from the hub.
Never use the halfshaft assembly as a lever to position other components. Always support the free end
of the halfshaft.
Do not allow the boots to contact sharp edges or hot exhaust components.
Handle the halfshaft only by the interconnecting shaft to avoid pull-apart and potential damage to the
CV joints.
Excessive pulling force on the interconnecting shaft between joints of the halfshaft will result in
internal joint damage. Axial loads used in assisting removal must be applied through the inboard joint
housing only.
Do not drop assembled halfshafts. The impact will cut the boots from the inside without evidence of
external damage.
Do not remove the outer CV joint by pulling on the interconnecting shaft.
Inspect all machined surfaces and splines for damage.

Brake System
The brake pedal is connected to the power brake booster, which is connected to the brake master cylinder.
When the brake pedal is pressed, brake fluid is pushed through the double-walled steel tubes and flexible
hoses to the front and rear disc brake calipers. The brake fluid enters the disc brake calipers, forcing the
caliper pistons and brake pads outward against the brake disc friction surface, slowing or stopping rotation.
When the brake pedal is released, brake fluid pressure is relieved, returning the front and rear disc brake
caliper pistons and brake pads to the unapplied position.
Principles of Operation
Brake System
Applying the brake pedal uses lever action to push a rod into the brake booster, which through the use of
vacuum, boosts the force of the rod and then transmits this force to the primary piston in the master cylinder.
This produces hydraulic pressure in the master cylinder. Ts pressure builds in the master cylinder and brake
tubes as the brake pedal is applied further. The pressure between the primary and secondary piston forces the
secondary piston to compress, building pressure in its circuit. The hydraulic pressure is transmitted by brake
fluid through the brake tubes to the ABS Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU), which then distributes that pressure
to the individual brake calipers. The brake calipers use hydraulic pressure to apply the pads. The application
of the brake pads will cause the rotation of the wheels to slow or stop, depending on how much brake pressure
is applied. The parking brakes carry out the same function except that they are mechanically actuated by a
cable that connects only to the rear brakes.
The purpose of the compensator ports in the brake master cylinder is to supply additional brake fluid from the
master cylinder reservoir when needed by the brake system due to brake lining wear and allow brake fluid to
return to the master cylinder reservoir when the brakes are released. The returning brake fluid creates a slight
turbulence in the master cylinder reservoir. This is a normal condition and indicates that the compensator
ports are not clogged. Clogged compensator ports may cause the brakes to hang up or not fully release.
The red brake warning indicator alerts the driver to certain conditions that exist in the brake system. The
Instrument Cluster (IC) performs a bulb check when the ignition key is turned to the RUN position. The
conditions that cause the indicator to illuminate are low brake fluid level, the parking brake is applied or there
is a fault in the ABS (if the yellow ABS warning indicator is also illuminated). To diagnose red brake warning
indicator concerns, refer to Section 413-01 .

suitable vacuum/pressure tester to the booster side of the vacuum sensor/check valve.
2. Apply the parking brake, start the engine and place the transmission in NEUTRAL.
Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature.
3. NOTE: Subtract approximately 3.38 kPa (1 in-Hg) from the specified reading for every 304.8 m
(1,000 ft) of elevation above sea level.
Verify that vacuum is available at the vacuum sensor/check valve with engine running at normal idle
speed.
The vacuum gauge should read between 51-74 kPa (15-22 in-Hg).
If specified vacuum is available, stop the engine, connect the vacuum sensor/check valve and
continue with Step 5.
If specified vacuum is not available, continue with Step 4.
4. Disconnect the vacuum sensor/check valve from the vacuum hose and verify that the specified
vacuum is available at the hose with the engine at idle speed and the transmission in NEUTRAL.
If specified vacuum is available, stop the engine, install a new vacuum sensor/check valve
and continue with Step 5.
If specified vacuum is not available, stop the engine, connect the vacuum hose to the vacuum
sensor/check valve and refer to Section 303-00 to diagnose the no/low vacuum condition.
5. Apply the brake pedal several times to exhaust all vacuum from the system.
6. Apply the brake pedal and hold it in the applied position. Start the engine and verify that the brake
pedal moves downward after the engine starts.
If the brake pedal moves, the brake booster is operating correctly.
If the brake pedal does not move, install a new brake booster. Refer to Section 206-07 .
7. Operate the engine a minimum of 20 seconds at idle. Stop the engine and let the vehicle stand for 10
minutes, then apply the brake pedal. The brake pedal feel should be the same as that noted with the
engine operating.
If the brake pedal feels hard (no power assist), install a new brake booster vacuum
sensor/check valve and retest.
If condition still exists, install a new brake booster. Refer to Section 206-07 .
If the brake pedal feels the same as noted with the engine operating, the vacuum sensor/check
valve is functioning properly.
1. Inspect the master cylinder. Refer to Brake System Inspection in this section.
4. NOTE: Make sure that the outlet port plugs do not show signs of leakage.
Lightly apply the brakes and hold for 10 seconds. Release the brakes and then reapply with heavy
force. If brake pedal height cannot be maintained, the brake master cylinder has an internal leak and a
new brake master cylinder must be installed.
If brake pedal height is maintained, reinstall brake tubes and tighten to specifications. Refer to
Specifications in this section. After installation, bleed the brake system. Refer to Brake
System Bleeding in this section.
1. Inspect the master cylinder. Refer to Brake System Inspection in this section.
4. With the brakes released, attempt to rotate each wheel and check for any brake drag.

Minor surface cracks do not require pad replacement, however, if there are missing chunks or
cracks in the lining through to the backing plate, install new brake pads. For additional information,
refer to Section 206-03 for front brake pads or Section 206-04 for rear brake pads.
If the thickness of the friction material is less than the specified thickness, install new brake pads.
For additional information, refer to Section 206-03 for front brake pads or Section 206-04 for rear
brake pads.
If the friction material shows taper wear that is not within specifications, install new brake pads and
verify the caliper guide pins are functioning correctly. For additional information, refer to Brake
Caliper Guide Pins inspection.
Brake Discs
NOTICE: Using an impact tool without a torque socket will lead to unevenly tightened wheel nuts. This
causes brake disc on-vehicle lateral runout and brake roughness.
1. Inspect the brake discs and measure the brake disc thickness. Record the measurement. Refer to
Specifications in this section.
If the brake disc is cracked or otherwise damaged, install a new brake disc. For additional
information, refer to Section 206-03 for front brakes or Section 206-04 for rear brakes.
If the measurement is below the minimum thickness specification, install a new brake disc.
For additional information, refer to Section 206-03 for front brakes or Section 206-04 for rear
Brake Calipers
1. Inspect the brake calipers for leaks, damage to seals and piston corrosion or binding.
If the brake caliper is leaking or otherwise damaged, install a new brake caliper. For
additional information, refer to Section 206-03 for front brake calipers or Section 206-04 for
rear brake calipers.
1. The guide pins should slide with a reasonable amount of hand force. If the brake pads show taper
wear or the guide pins are difficult to move, carry out the following steps.
Disassemble the brake caliper guide pins and inspect the guide pins and guide pin bores for
wear, damage and corrosion. If the bore is worn or damaged, replace the damaged
component.
Use a wire brush, rolled-up sandpaper or emery cloth to remove all corrosion and foreign
material from the caliper guide pin bores. Clean any remaining foreign material from the
bores with brake parts cleaner and compressed air.
Assemble the caliper seals, boots and guide pins. Use an ample amount of the specified
grease to lubricate the bores and guide pins.
Inspect the brake pads. For additional information, refer to Brake Pads inspection in this
section.
NOTICE: Never use copper tubing. It is subject to fatigue, cracking and corrosion, which may result in
brake tube failure.
NOTE: Double-wall steel tubing is used throughout the brake hydraulic system. All brake tube fittings must
be correctly double flared to provide strong, leakproof connections. When bending tubing to fit the underbody
or rear axle contours, be careful not to kink or crack the tube.
1. Inspect brake tubes for corrosion, cracks, leaks or any other signs of damage.
If a section of the brake tube is damaged, the entire section must be installed with a new tube
of the same type, size, shape and length.
When installing the hydraulic brake tubing, hoses or connectors, tighten all connections to
specifications. After installation, bleed the brake system. For additional information, refer to
Brake System Bleeding in this section.
2. Inspect the brake flexible hoses for cracks, leaks and swelling during brake application or any other
signs of damage.
Install a new brake flexible hose if the hose shows signs of softening, cracking or other
damage. For additional information, refer to Section 206-03 for the front brake flexible hose
or Section 206-04 for the rear brake flexible hose.
NOTE: During normal operation of the brake master cylinder, the fluid level in the brake master cylinder
reservoir will fall during brake application and rise during release. The returning brake fluid creates a slight
turbulence in the master cylinder reservoir. This is a normal condition and indicates that the compensator
ports are not clogged. Clogged compensator ports may cause the brakes to hang up or not fully release. The
net fluid level (such as after brake application and release) will remain unchanged. Fluid level will decrease
with pad wear.
NOTE: A trace of brake fluid will exist on the booster shell below the master cylinder mounting flange. This
results from the normal lubricating action of the master cylinder bore and seal.
Brake Booster
1. Inspect the brake booster for excessive corrosion or damage. Inspect the vacuum hoses for leaks and
kinks.
Install a new brake booster if signs of excessive corrosion or damage is found. For additional
information, refer to Section 206-07 .
Repair or replace vacuum hoses as necessary.
To check for correct brake booster operation, refer to Component Tests in this section.
SECTION 206-00: Brake System - General Information 2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
GENERAL PROCEDURES Procedure revision date: 08/12/2010
NOTE: Do not use a bench lathe to machine the brake discs. Use an on-vehicle brake lathe only. Read the
entire operating manual and/or view the video shipped with the lathe before installing, operating or repairing
the lathe.
NOTE: An on-vehicle brake lathe with an automatic runout adjustment feature is preferred. However, if the
lathe is not self adjusting, the lathe oscillation must be adjusted using a dial indicator. The total indicated
runout target is 0.000 mm (0.000 in). The maximum iicated runout should be no more than 0.050 mm (0.002
in). If the runout adjustment (automatic or manual) is carried out correctly prior to machining, then the final
brake disc runout will be within specification and a runout measurement is not necessary after machining.
NOTE: Lateral runout and disc thickness variation measurements are not required because correct adjustment
of the on-vehicle brake lathe will make sure that these dimensions are within specification.
1. Remove the wheel and tire. For additional information, refer to Section 204-04 .
2. NOTICE: Do not allow the caliper to hang from the brake hose or damage to the hose may
occur.
Remove the bolts and position the brake caliper or brake caliper and anchor plate assembly aside, as
required.
5. If the lathe is not self adjusting, adjust the lathe oscillation using a dial indicator. The total indicated
runout target is 0.000 mm (0.000 in). The maximum indicated runout should be no more than 0.050
mm (0.002 in).
6. Center the cutting head, adjust the cutting bits and install the chip deflector/silencer.
7. NOTE: The depth of the cut should be between 0.10 and 0.40 mm (0.004 and 0.015 in). Lighter cuts
will cause the bit to heat up and wear faster. Heavier cuts will cause poor brake disc surface finish.
12. NOTE: It is not required to install new brake pads if friction material is within specifications. For
additional information, refer to Specifications in this section.
Position the brake caliper or brake caliper and anchor plate assembly.
13. Install the wheel and tire. For additional information, refer to Section 204-04 .

When mechanical force is applied by the driver to the brake pedal, the force is converted into hydraulic
pressure by the master cylinder. The hydraulic force is directed to the disc brake calipers and transferred to the
brake pads. The brake pads are then forced against the brake friction surfaces by the brake caliper pistons. The
friction of the brake pads on the brake disc causes the slowing of wheel rotation and the vehicle.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 08/12/2010
Parking Brake
The parking brake and actuation system consists of the following components:
The parking brake system is a foot-operated/cable-actuated system that applies a drum-in-hat assembly within
each rear brake disc. A red brake warning indicator is located in the instrument cluster and will illuminate
when the system is actuated to alert the driver that the parking brakes are applied.
SECTION 206-05: Parking Brake and Actuation 2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Procedure revision date: 08/12/2010
Parking Brake
Principles of Operation
When the parking brake control is pressed, tension is applied to the front parking brake cable. This tension
pulls on the RH rear parking brake cable, which is attached to the RH rear parking brake shoe actuator and
applies the RH rear brake shoes. At the same time, the tension in the RH rear cable causes the RH rear cable
conduit to attempt to straighten out. This straightening effect causes the RH rear cable conduit to pull on the
LH rear parking brake cable, which is attached to the LH rear parking brake shoe actuator and applies the LH
rear brake shoes.
WARNING: Shut off the electrical power to the air suspension system prior to hoisting or jacking
an air suspension equipped vehicle. Failure to do so may result in unexpected inflation or deflation of
the air springs, which may result in shifting of the vehicle during these operations. Failure to follow this
instruction may result in serious personal injury.

Symptom Chart
Normal Operation
When the parking brake control pedal is pressed the pedal should move a short distance, with more pressure
needed to apply the pedal as it gets closer to the floor, until the parking brake shoes are fully applied. When
the parking brake control is pressed, tension is applied to the front parking brake cable. This tension pulls on
the RH rear parking brake cable, which is attached to the RH rear parking brake shoe actuator and applies the
RH rear brake shoes. At the same time, the tension in the RH rear cable causes the RH rear cable conduit to
attempt to straighten out. This straightening effect causes the RH rear cable conduit to pull on the LH rear
parking brake cable, which is attached to the LH rear parking brake shoe actuator and applies the LH rear
brake shoes.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION Procedure revision date: 08/12/2010
Hydraulic Brakes
The brake pedal is connected to the power brake booster, which is connected to the brake master cylinder.
When the brake pedal is pressed, brake fluid is forced through the double-walled steel tubes and flexible hoses
to the HCU . The brake fluid is then distributed to the front and rear brake calipers. The fluid enters the
caliper, forcing the caliper pistons and brake pads outward against the brake disc friction surface, slowing or
stopping rotation of the brake disc. When the brake pedal is released, brake fluid pressure is relieved,
returning the front and rear brake caliper pistons and brake pads to the unapplied position.
Adjustable Pedals
Adjustable brake and accelerator pedals are available as an optional feature on this vehicle. The brake pedal
position can be changed in phase with the accelerator pedal to increase driver comfort. Two different
adjustable pedal systems are available; one that is connected to the memory feature option and one that is not
connected to the memory feature option.
Adjustable brake pedals without memory feature consist of the following components:
The pedals are adjusted through the use of a rocker switch mounted on the instrument panel. When the switch
is pressed, voltage is sent to the motor which spins a cable that is attached to the adjustable brake pedal. As
the cable spins, the pedals move either forward (away from the driver) or rearward (toward the driver)
depending on how the switch is pressed.

pressed or the transmitter is activated, a voltage signal is sent to the DSM . The DSM then sends voltage to the
adjustable pedal motor which spins a cable that is attached to the adjustable brake pedal. As the cable spins,
the pedals move either forward (away from the driver) or rearward (toward the driver) depending on how the
switch is pressed and/or current pedal position.

Stability/traction control switch - part of the power liftgate/traction control/hazard center stack switch
assembly located in the instrument panel finish panel. The switch assembly is serviced separately
from the finish panel.
The ABS module and HCU incorporate a strategy called Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD). The EBD
strategy uses the HCU as an electronic proportioning valve to create a balanced braking condition between the
front and rear wheels and minimize the chance of rear wheel lockup during hard braking. A slight bump may
be felt in the brake pedal when EBD is active.
Standard ABS
The ABS aids in the prevention of wheel lock-up during braking events which allows the driver to maintain
steering control and stop in the shortest distance possible under most conditions. This is accomplished by the
ABS module and HCU modulating brake fluid pressure to the affected brake caliper(s).
When the anti-lock control system activates, any of the following can occur:
AdvanceTrac System
The traction control system aids in the prevention of excessive wheel spin which allows the vehicle to
maintain traction during acceleration. This is accomplished by the ABS module and the HCU modulating
brake fluid pressure to the affected brake caliper(s) and by the PCM modulating engine torque.
When the traction control system activates, any of the following can occur:
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system constantlymonitors the vehicle's direction of travel relative to
the driver's intended course, except when the vehicle is traveling in reverse, and aids in keeping the vehicle
traveling along that course. This is accomplished by the ABS module and the HCU modulating brake fluid
pressure to the affected brake caliper(s) and by the PCM modulating engine torque.
When the ESC system activates, any of the following can occur:
The Roll Stability Control (RSC) system constantly monitors vehicle motion relative to the driver's intended
course, except when the vehicle is traveling in reverse, and aids in keeping the vehicle stable during sudden or
abrupt maneuvers. This is accomplished by the ABS module and the HCU modulating brake fluid pressure to
the affected brake caliper(s) and by the PCM modulating engine torque. The combination of reduced engine
torque and modulated brake fluid pressure aids in reducing the cornering forces and, therefore, the total roll
momentum acting on the vehicle.
When the RSC system avates, any of the following can occur:
The stability/traction control switch can be used by the driver to disable and enable the traction control, ESC
and RSC systems. When the ignition key is turned to the RUN position, all 3 systems are enabled and the
sliding-car icon in the Instrument Cluster (IC) illuminates momentarily as a test. When the switch is pressed,
the systems are disabled. When the systems are disabled, the sliding-car icon in the IC (or message center if
equipped) illuminates. The standard ABS cannot be disabled through the use of the stability/traction control
switch.

DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING

Anti-Lock Control
Special Tool(s)
Principles of Operation
Anti-Lock Control
The anti-lock control system is controlled by the ABS module which continuously monitors and compares the
rotational speed of each wheel. The wheel speed sensors are connected to the ABS module by 2 circuits. One
circuit provides voltage for sensor operation and the other circuit provides sensor input to the ABS module.
As the wheels spin, the wheel speed sensor tone rings pass through the magnetic field generated by the active
wheel speed sensor. This causes the strength of the magnetic field to increase (as a tooth passes the sensor) or
decrease (as a gap passes the sensor) and generates a square-wave signal that is sent to the ABS module to
indicate individual wheel speed.
When the ABS module detects an impending wheel lock-up, brake fluid pressure to the appropriate brake
caliper is modulated (pulsated). This is accomplished by opening and closing the appropriate solenoid valves
inside the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) while the hydraulic pump motor is also actuated. Once the affected
wheel returns to normal speed, the ABS module returns the solenoid valves to their normal position and the
hydraulic pump motor is deactivated.
The ABS module is self-monitoring and carries out self-tests at pre-determined times. When the ignition
switch is turned to the RUN position, the ABS module carries out a preliminary electrical check of the wheel
speed sensors and their circuits by sending voltage through the sensor and checking for the voltage to return.
When the vehicle is traveling at speeds above 20 km/h (12 mph), and the brake pedal is not being pressed, the
pump motor is commanded ON for approximately 0.5 second to check pump motor operation. Also, during all
phases of operation while the vehicle is in motion, the ABS module checks for correct operation of the wheel
speed sensors by comparing wheel speed input to other sensor inputs. If a malfunction is detected, the ABS
module deactivates the ABS and also sends a message over the High Speed Controller Area Network
(HS-CAN). When the Instrument Cluster (IC) receives this message, it illuminates the yellow ABS warning
On initial application of the brake pedal, full pressure is applied to the rear brakes. The ABS module then uses
wheel speed input to calculate an estimated rate of deceleration. Once vehicle deceleration exceeds a
predetermined threshold, the ABS module closes the appropriate isolation valves in the HCU to hold the rear
brake pressure constant while allowing the front brake pressure to build. This creates a balanced braking
condition between the front and rear wheels and minimizes the chance of rear wheel lockup during hard
braking. As the vehicle decelerates, the valves are opened to increase the rear brake pressure in proportion to
the front brake pressure.
If ABS is disabled due to DTCs being present in the ABS module, Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD)
continues to function unless the DTCs are for wheel speed sensors or the HCU . When EBD is disabled, the
red brake warning indicator, the ABS warning indicator and (if equipped) the sliding-car icon illuminates.
The ABS module incorporates a strategy called optimized hydraulic braking. This strategy uses the pump
motor in the HCU to provide brake pedal boost in the event that the vacuum brake booster fails. The brake
booster is equipped with a vacuum sensor. When vacuum in the booster falls below a predetermined level, a
DTC is set in the ABS module. If the brake pedal is applied with low vacuum in the booster, the ABS module
activates the pump motor in the HCU to assist with braking. During pump motor operation, the driver may
feel a pulsation in the brake pedal, accompanied by a slight up and down movement in the pedal height. In
addition, a mechanical noise may be heard.
The traction control system is controlled by the ABS module and uses the same wheel speed sensors and tone
rings that are used for the ABS. The ABS module continuously monitors and compares the rotational speed of
each wheel and when it detects a wheel spinning excessively, modulates brake pressure to the appropriate
brake caliper. This is accomplished by opening and closing the appropriate solenoid valves inside the HCU
while the hydraulic pump motor is activated. At the same time, the ABS module sends a message over the
HS-CAN that a traction control event is taking place. When the PCM receives this message, it assists with
traction control by adjusting engine timing and decreasing fuel injector pulses. When the IC receives this
message, it flashes the stability/traction control indicator (sliding-car icon). Once the affected wheel returns to
normal speed, the ABS module returns the solenoid valves in the HCU to their normal position, deactivates
the hydraulic pump motor and sends another message over the HS-CAN indicating that the traction event has
ended. The PCM returns engine timing and fuel injectors to normal operation and the IC extinguishes the
stability/traction control indicator.
Once vehicle speed reaches or exceeds 100 km/h (62 mph), traction control is accomplished only through the
PCM.
If the anti-lock control system is disabled due to DTCs being present in the ABS module, the traction control
system is disabled. When the traction control system is disabled due to DTCs being present, both the ABS
warning indicator and the stability/traction control indicator are illuminated.
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC) system is controlled by the ABS module and uses the same wheel
speed sensors and tone rings that are used for the anti-lock control system. The ESC system also uses input
from the steering wheel rotation sensor, the stability control sensors (yaw rate, longitudinal and lateral
acceleration located in the Restraints Control Module (RCM)) and information from other modules sent over
the HS-CAN to help maintain vehicle stability. The ABS module uses all of these inputs to continuously
monitor the vehicle's direction of travel relative to the driver's intended course. If the ABS module determines
from all these inputs that the vehicle is unable to travel in the intended direction, it modulates brake pressure
to the appropriate brake caliper(s) by opening and closing the appropriate solenoid valves inside the HCU
while the hydraulic pump motor is activated. At the same time, the ABS module sends a message over the
HS-CAN that a stability event is taking place. When the PCM receives this message, it assists with vehicle
stability by adjusting engine timing and decreasing fuel injector pulses. When the IC receives this message, it
flashes the stability/traction control indicator (sliding-car icon). Once the stability condition has been
corrected, the ABS module returns the solenoid valves in the HCU to their normal position, deactivates the
hydraulic pump motor and sends another message over the HS-CAN indicating that the event has ended. The
PCM returns engine timing and fuel injectors to normal operation and the IC extinguishes the stability/traction
control indicator.
If the anti-lock control system is disabled due to DTCs being present in the ABS module, the ESC system is
disabled. When the ESC system is disabled due to DTCs being present, both the ABS warning indicator and
the sliding-car icon are illuminated.
The Roll Stability Control (RSC) system is controlled by the ABS module and uses the same wheel speed
sensors and tone rings that are used for the anti-lock control system. The RSC system also uses input from
the steering wheel rotation sensor, the stability control sensors (yaw rate, roll rate, longitudinal and lateral
acceleration) and information from other modules sent over the HS-CAN to help maintain vehicle stability.
The ABS module uses all of these inputs to continuously monitor vehicle motion relative to the driver's
intended course. If the ABS module determines from all these inputs that conditions exist for a potential
roll-over event, iodulates brake pressure to the appropriate brake caliper(s) by opening and closing the
appropriate solenoid valves inside the HCU while the hydraulic pump motor is activated. At the same time,
the ABS module sends a message over the HS-CAN that a stability event is taking place. When the PCM
receives this message, it assists with vehicle stability by adjusting engine timing and decreasing fuel injector
pulses. When the IC receives this message, it flashes the sliding-car icon. Once the stability condition has
been corrected, the ABS module returns the solenoid valves in the HCU to their normal position, deactivates
the hydraulic pump motor and sends another message over the HS-CAN indicating that the event has ended.
The PCM returns engine timing and fuel injectors to normal operation and the IC extinguishes the sliding-car
icon.
If the anti-lock control system is disabled due to DTCs being present in the ABS module, the RSC systems
are also disabled. When the RSC system is disabled due to DTCs being present, both the ABS warning
indicator and the sliding-car icon are illuminated.
Trailer sway control is a unique function of the RSC system that uses information from the steering wheel
rotation sensor and the yaw information from the RCM to determine if a trailer sway event is taking place.
Trailer sway is the undesirable yaw force a trailer can apply to the towing vehicle. If the ABS module
determines that a trailer sway event is taking place, the module modulates brake pressure to the appropriate
brake caliper(s) by opening and closing the appropriate solenoid valves inside the HCU while the hydraulic
Trailer sway control only activates with vehicle speed greater than 64 km/h (40 mph). Any malfunction that
disables the RSC system also disables trailer sway control. Trailer sway control can also be disabled by
entering the setup menu in the message center. Refer to the Owner's Literature for the disabling/enabling
procedure. Regardless of the chosen state (enabled or disabled), trailer sway control is re-enabled at each
ignition key cycle.
The stability/traction control switch provides the driver with the ability to disable only the traction control
feature. Standard ABS, ESC and RSC remain functional. The switch is hardwired to the ABS module. When
the stability/traction control switch is pressed, a ground signal is sent to the ABS module. The ABS module
then sends a message over the HS-CAN to the IC indicating that the driver has requested that the system be
deactivated and the IC illuminates the stability/traction control indicator (sliding-car icon). The ABS module
and the PCM ignores any traction events until the driver presses the switch again, the ignition key is cycled or
the vehicle speed reaches or exceeds 70 km/h (43 mph). Once the vehicle speed reaches or exceeds 70 km/h
(43 mph), the traction control system reactivates but the indicator remains illuminated.
The ESC system cannot be disabled when a MyKey-restricted key is in use that has the AdvanceTrac
always-on feature configured "on". If an attempt is made to disable the ESC system while a
MyKey-restricted key is in use, ADVTRAC ON MY KEY SETTING displays in the IC message center. For
information about MyKey, refer to Section 419-01B .
Status of the traction control, ESC and RSC systems is indicated by a stability/traction control indicator
(sliding-car icon) located in the IC (or message center if equipped). When the driver disables the systems
through the use of the stability/traction control switch, this indicator illuminates continuously, when one or
more of the systems is currently active, the indicator flashes and when the system is disabled due to DTCs
being present in the ABS module, the indicator illuminates in conjunction with the yellow ABS warning
indicator.
The stability control sensors for the ESC system include the yaw rate sensor, lateral and longitudinal
accelerometers. The yaw rate sensor, the lateral and longitudinal accelerometers are able to detect and
measure changes in vehicle direction that indicate the need for the A to make corrections that help prevent
vehicle roll over or spin outs. The sensors are housed in the Restraints Control Module (RCM) which sends
sensor information to the ABS module over the Controller Area Network (CAN). Install a new RCM if any of
the sensors are damaged.
When a new RCM is installed, the sensor(s) must be calibrated. The calibration procedure is required for the
sensor(s) to learn the "zero-position" of the vehicle which means the vehicle must be on a level surface and
must not be moving.
If a DTC is logged for any component of the AdvanceTrac system, the DTC must be cleared or repaired
before carrying out the calibration procedure. The need to calibrate is also indicated by the stability/traction
control indicator flashing once every 2 seconds.
To carry out the calibion procedure, connect the scan tool, proceed to the IVD Initialization sequence and
follow the scan tool instructions.
The ABS module must be configured when a new module is installed. Refer to Programmable Module

Normal Operation
The vacuum sensor is used by the ABS module to determine if hydraulic pump intervention is necessary due
to loss of vacuum. The ABS module sends a 5 volt reference voltage to the sensor, the sensor compares the
pressure in the booster to the ambient air pressure in the engine compartment and sends a varying voltage
back to the ABS module based on the difference between the pressures. Normally, the pressure in the booster
is much lower than ambient air pressure, as the pressure in the booster gets higher (closer to matching ambient
air pressure), the lower the voltage sent back to the ABS module becomes.
When the vacuum in the brake booster falls below a predetermined level, the ABS module commands the
hydraulic pump motor to activate on the next (and any subsequent) brake pedal application to assist with
vehicle braking. The ABS module continues to use the pump motor for braking assist as long as the low
vacuum condition exists.
A 5 volt reference voltage is sent to the sensor, and the sensor output returns to the ABS module.

The ABS module uses information received from several sensors (wheel speed sensors, steering wheel
rotation sensor, stability control sensors, etc.) to determine if a vehicle instability event is about to occur. If an
event is going to occur, the ABS module adjusts brake torque at specific wheels and the PCM reduces engine
torque to make the vehicle more stable. Once the ABS module has determined that the stability event has been
corrected, it returns brake and engine torque to normal and continues to monitor the vehicle.
DTC C1996 (Active Yaw and/or Roll Control Disabled) - The ABS module monitors the stability
event and is programmed to set DTC C1996 and disable the stability control system if the stability

Normal Operation
The traction control system operates using the ABS module to interact with the PCM to reduce engine torque
if one or more of the drive wheels lose traction and begin to spin during acceleration. Engine torque
modulation is achieved by regulating fuel and spark to the cylinders.
The stability control utilizes several sensor inputs (wheel speed, steering wheel rotation, stability sensors,
brake pedal) to monitor the vehicle motion relative to the intended course. If the system determines that a
vehicle instability event is about to occur, it takes action to adjust brake torque at specific wheels and to
reduce engine torque to reduce the cornering forces and, therefore, the total roll moment acting on the vehicle.
If a MyKey-restricted key is in use that has the AdvanceTrac always-on feature configured "on", the
stability/traction control system cannot be disabled.
NOTICE: Use the correct probe adapter(s) when making measurements. Failure to use the correct
probe adapter(s) may damage the connector.
The ABS module monitors the pressure of the hydraulic brake system through the use of a brake pressure
transducer. The transducer sends a signal to the ABS module that varies in relation to the amount of pressure
applied to the brake pedal. The more pressure that is applied, the greater the signal send to the ABS module.
The brake pressure transducer is internal to the Hydraulic Control Unit (HCU) and cannot be serviced
separately. If a new brake pressure transducer is needed, a new HCU must be installed.

Transmission Description
6R80 Transmission
This transmission has an internal thermal bypass valve contained within the case.
This transmission uses planetary gears with hydraulic electronic controls. The Transmission Control Module
(TCM) and the main control valve body units form a composite element that is installed as a single unit inside
the automatic transmission.
All hydraulic functions are directed by electronic solenoids to control the following:
Engagement feel
Shift feel
Shift scheduling
Modulated Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) applications
This automatic transmission is a 6-speed electronically controlled transmission comprising the basic elements
of a TCM , main control valve body unit, torque converter, 1 solenoid valve and 6 pressure regulators. Gear
selection is achieved by the control of automatic transmission fluid flow to operate various internal clutches.
The TCM operates the electrical components and provides for the control of gear selection shift pressure,
which increases refinement and torque converter slip.
In the event of a system fault, the TCM also provides for Failure Mode Effect Management to maintain
maximum functional operation of the transmission with a minimum reduction in driver, passenger or vehicle
safety. In the event of a total loss of control or electrical power, the basic transmission functions P, R, N and
D are retained. Also 3rd or 5th gear is retained by the hydraulic system. The gear retained is dependent upon
the gear selected at the time of the failure.
Identification Tags
All vehicles come equipped with a Safety Compliance Certification Label. The location on the label marked
TR is reserved for the transmission code. To determine the correct transmission for this vehicle, refer to the
Owner's Literature, Transmission Code Designations. All transmissions are equipped with an identification
tag located on the transmission case. For transmission part number, serial number and build date, refer to the

three rotating multi-plate clutches: forward (A), direct (B) and overdrive (E).
two fixed multi-disc brakes: intermediate (C) and low/reverse (D).
All gear shifts from 1st to 6th or from 6th to 1st are power-on overlapping shifts. That is, during the shift, one
of the clutches must continue to transmit the drive at lower main pressure until the other clutch is able to
accept the input torque.
The shift elements, clutches or brakes are engaged hydraulically. The transmission fluid pressure builds up
between the cylinder and the piston, pressing the clutches together.
The purpose of these shift elements is to carry out in-load shifts with no interruption to traction.
Multi-plate clutches; forward, direct and overdrive, supply power from the engine to the planetary geartrain.
Multi-disc brakes, intermediate and low/reverse, press against the transmission housing in order to achieve a
torque reaction effect.
Multi-Plate Clutch
Clutches; O/D (E), forward (A) and direct (B) are balanced in terms of dynamic pressure. That is, their pistons
are exposed to the transmission fluid flow on both sides, in order to prevent pressure buildup in the clutch as
speed increases. This equalization process is achieved by a baffle plate and pressure-free transmission fluid
supply by a lubricating passage, through which the space between piston and baffle plate is filled with
transmission fluid.
The electro-hydraulic shift action is obtained by means of various valves in the TCM and main control valve
body, actuated by pressure regulators. They engage or disengage the relevant clutches or brakes at the correct
moments.
Hydraulic Systems
Fluid Pump
The torque converter is supported in the fluid pump by a needle roller bearing. The fluid pump is driven
directly from the engine by the torque converter shell and supplies transmission fluid to the transmission and
the hydraulic control unit.
The fluid pump draws in transmission fluid through a transmission fluid filter and delivers it at high pressure
to the main pressure valve in the main control valve body unit. The valve adjusts the pressure and returns
excess transmission fluid to the transmission fluid pan.
Fluid Filter
All transmission fluid that is picked up from the transmission fluid pan passes through the transmission fluid
filter. The transmission fluid filter and its accompanying seal are part of the transmission fluid path from the
pan to the transmission fluid pump.
The single planetary gear O/D carrier is driven by the input shaft. The single planetary gear set consists of the
following components:
Output Shaft
The output shaft provides torque to the driveshaft and rear axle assembly. It is driven by the ring gear of the
planetary gearset.

Torque Converter
The torque converter is a 4-element unit containing a 3-plate clutch. The clutch can be controlled and engaged
in any gear 2 to 6. Calibration parameters may be set to allow lockup in a higher gear only. The clutch is
applied by removing fluid pressure from one side of the plate. The torque converter transmits and multiplies
torque. The torque converter includes the following 4 elements:
Impeller assembly
Turbine assembly
Reactor assembly
Torque Converter Clutch (TCC)
Rotation of the torque converter housing and impeller set the transmission fluid in motion by driving the
impeller blades and pump.
The turbine is driven by the transmission fluid from the impeller and transmits power to the input shaft.
The reactor redirects transmission fluid flow returned from the turbin the impeller so that it rotates in the same
direction as the impeller. This action assists in torque multiplication.
The reactor has a One-Way Clutch (OWC) to hold it stationary during torque multiplication and allows it to
rotate at higher vehicle speeds.

During TCC release, transmission fluid flows through the torque converter in one direction to release the
3-plate clutch.
During TCC apply, transmission fluid flows through the torque converter in the opposite direction to apply the
3-plate clutch.
Full release
Controlled modulation
Full apply
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls TCC operation using the TCC solenoid. TCC solenoid
operation provides the modulation of hydraulic pressure to change the position of the bypass clutch control
regulator valve. The valve changes the pressure and direction of transmission fluid flow in the torque
converter. The TCC may be applied in forward gears, 2 to 6.
Shift Patterns
Downshifts
Under certain conditions, the transmission will downshift automatically to a lower gear range (without
moving the range selector lever). There are 3 categories of automatic downshifts:
Coastdown
Torque demand
Forced or kickdown shifts
Coastdown
The coastdown downshift occurs when the vehicle is coasting down to a stop.
Torque Demand
The torque demand downshift occurs (automatically) during part throttle acceleration when the demand for
torque is greater than the engine can provide at that gear ratio.
Kickdown
For maximum acceleration, the driver can force a downshift by pressing the accelerator pedal to the floor. A
forced downshift into a lower gear is possible below calibrated speeds. Specifications for downshift speeds are
subject to variations due to tire size, engine and transmission calibration requirements.
Planetary Gearset
This transmission has 2 planetary gearsets (front and rear) to provide operation in reverse and 6 forward
speeds.
The front planetary gearset is a single planetary gearset and has the following components:
The input shaft rotates the front ring gear as a driving member. The front sun gear is connected to the fluid
pump and is held stationary. The front ring gear rotates the front planetary carrier assembly with a reduction
ratio of 1.52:1
The front planetary carrier assembly is the only output member of the front planetary gearset in reverse, 1st
gear, 2nd gear and 3rd gear. The front planetary gearseovides a 1.52:1 gear ratio to the rear planetary gearset.
In 4th gear and 5th gear, both the front ring gear and front planetary carrier assembly are output members of
the front planetary gearset. The front planetary gearset provides both a 1:1 and 1.52:1 gear ratio to different
members of the rear planetary gearset.
In 6th gear, the front ring gear is the only output member of the front planetary gearset. The front planetary
gearset provides a 1:1 gear ratio to the rear planetary gearset.

clutch (D) is applied in park, reverse, neutral and 1st gear.
Regulated hydraulic pressure from the regulator valve in the valve body pushes the low/reverse clutch (D)
piston against the low/reverse clutch (D) pack to apply the clutch.
The O/D clutch (E) connects the input shaft with the rear planetary carrier. The O/D clutch (E) is applied in
4th, 5th and 6th gears.
Regulated hydraulic pressure from the regulator valve in the valve body pushes the O/D clutch (E) piston
against the O/D clutch (E) pack to apply the clutch.
External Sealing
The pump assembly has a lip-type seal for the torque converter impeller hub. The pump assembly uses a large
O-ring to seal the transmission case. The pump bolts also seal the pump to the transmission case.
The manual control shaft has a lip seal for its bore in the transmission case.
The Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) applications use a lip-type seal that seals the transmission case to the output
shaft flange.
The Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) applications use a lip-type seal that seals the transmission case to the output
shaft flange.
The bulkhead connector sleeve has a seal for the transmission case bore. The seal is serviced as an assembly
with the bulkhead connector sleeve.
The plug for the fluid level indicator uses an O-ring seal.
This transmission supports the rotating compon of the transmission with bushings, bearings and thrust
washers.
The pump assembly support thrust washer controls the amount of end play for components between the pump
assembly and the center support (forward/Overdrive (O/D) clutch assembly, direct clutch cylinder).
The T8 thrust bearing outer race controls the amount of end play for components between the center support
and the rear of the transmission case (rear planetary gearset assembly, output shaft assembly).

Lubrication
This transmission provides lubrication for rotating mechanical components through one main hydraulic
circuit. The general flow of lubrication moves from the front of the transmission, through the input and
intermediate shafts, to the rear of the transmission.
Transmission fluid from the pump assembly and the torque converter exit the transmission case to go to the
transmission fluid cooler through the bottom transmission fluid cooler tube and returns to the transmission
through the top transmission fluid cooler tube.
With lower transmission fluid temperatures, the thermal bypass valve in the transmission case will bypass the
transmission fluid cooler tubes and redirect the fluid to the lubrication circuit. As transmission fluid
temperature increases, the thermal bypass valve directs the fluid to the transmission fluid cooler.
Transmission fluid from the transmission fluid cooler or the thermal bypass valve enters the main lubrication
circuit from the top transmission fluid cooler tube port.
Transmission fluid in the lubrication circuit flows to each of the balance pistons for the forward (A), direct (B)
and Overdrive (O/D) (E) clutches. The balance pistons prevent unwanted clutch application when the clutch
cylinder rotates at high speeds and hydraulic controls have released the clutch.
Lubrication Passages
Item Description
1 Transmission fluid cooler return (inlet from the transmission fluid cooler)
2 Transmission fluid cooler pressure (outlet to the transmission fluid cooler)
Park
The park gear is part of the output shaft assembly. The park gear has lugs on its OD surface that the park pawl
engages with to lock the output shaft.
The park lock prevents the vehicle wheels from rotating by allowing the output shaft to be held stationary by
the transmission case through the park pawl. When the park pawl is engaged in the park gear, the output shaft
is held stationary.
When the manual control lever is rotated to the PARK position, the park lock works as follows:
The detent assembly (connected to the manual control shaft) rotates and pushes the park pawl actuator
rod into the park pawl. The actuator rod is spring loaded.
The actuator rod is guided into the park pawl by the park pawl abutment.
When the park pawl actuator rod is pushed into the park pawl, the park pawl pivots into the park gear
and engages with the lugs.
The park pawl holds the output shaft to the transmission case.
Hydraulic System
This transmission has a gear type pump that supplies transmission fluid pressure to the hydraulic system.
The transmission fluid pump draws transmission fluid from the sump area, formed by the transmission fluid
pan, through the transmission fluid filter, which is installed into the intermediate plate portion of the pump
assembly and sealed by a rubber seal. A magnet attached to the transmission fluid pan collects any metallic
material in the transmission fluid.
A removable dipstick-type fluid level indicator is located on the right front area of the transmission case. It is
held in by an external fluid fill plug. The transmission fluid level indicator is removed with the transmission
fluid fill plug. The transmission fluid level indicator is removed from the fill plug to check the transmission
fluid level.
The transmission fluid level is correctly checked when the transmission is at normal operating temp5C
(175F-185F), and the vehicle is on a level surface.
The transmission can have 2 types of transmission fluid level indicators, the original or the replacement. The
original transmission fluid level indicator has a single crosshatch area for the fluid level. The replacement has
2 areas for the fluid level, a crosshatched (labeled A) area and a dotted (labeled B) area. Use the crosshatched
area when checking the transmission fluid level. The correct transmission fluid level is at the upper level of
the crosshatch marks on the transmission fluid level indicator.
The hydraulic system of this transmission includes the fluid pump, a main control, or mechatronic assembly
and fluid passages in the transmission case and center support to apply the clutches.
The main control assembly has an upper valve body assembly, a separator plate and a lower valve body
assembly. The lower valve body assembly has 7 solenoids to control the vahe main control.
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) is part of the mechatronic assembly and is bolted to it. The Turbine
Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor, Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor, Transmission Range (TR) sensor and the
Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor are all part of the TCM .

The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls line pressure with the Line Pressure Control (LPC)
solenoid. Varying pressure from the LPC solenoid effects shift feel while allowing sufficient pressure for
clutch application.
When the engine is running, the pump supplies pressure to the main regulator valve through the PUMP
circuit. The position of the main regulator valve controls line pressure (in the PUMP circuit). Pressure from
the LPC solenoid through the VFS5 circuit controls the position of the main regulator valve.
The main regulator valve varies pressure in the SCHG circuit. The higher the pressure in the SCHG circuit,
the lower the line pressure (PUMP circuit) is. As SCHG pressure decreases, line pressure (PUMP circuit)
increases.
The main regulator valve supplies pressure to the lubrication control valve through the CREL F circuit. When
the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) is applied, the lubrication control valve supplies the transmission
lubrication through the COOLF circuit to the LUBE circuit.
When the TCC is released, return fluid from the torque converter is supplied to the LUBE circuit through the
CAPLY, CAPLY EX and DBACK circuits.
Pressure in the LUBE circuit either circulates through the thermal bypass valve when Transmission Fluid
Temperature (TFT) is below operating temperature or through the transmission fluid cooler when the
transmission fluid is at or above operating temperature. Return fluid from the thermal bypass valve or the
transmission fluid cooler enters the input shaft through the pump assembly and flows through passages in the
input shaft, intermediate shaft and output shaft to provide lubrication for the transmission.
When the TCC is released, line pressure is supplied to the converter release regulator valve from the
lubrication control valve through the CREL F circuit. The converter release regulator valve supplies pressure
to the torque converter through the CREL circuit to release the torque converter.
CREL pressure exits the torque converter through the CAPLY circuit and goes to the bypass clutch control
regulator valve. The bypass clutch control regulator valve directs the fluid back to the converter release
regulator valve through the CAPLY EX circuit. The converter release regulator valve directs the fluid to the
When the TCC is applied, the TCC solenoid applies hydraulic pressure to the bypass clutch control regulator
valve and the converter release regulator valve through the VFS6 circuit to position the valves to apply the
TCC .

bypass clutch control regulator valve directs regulated line pressure to the TCC through the CAPLY circuit to
apply the TCC .
CAPLY pressure exits the torque converter through the CREL circuit and goes to the converter release
regulator valve.
For torque converter description and function, refer to Torque Converter Contamination Inspection in this
section.
LINE pressure from the pump is directed to the individual shift, TCC and LPC solenoids by the solenoid
regulator valve through the SREG circuit. The solenoids, controlled by the TCM , direct full or regulated
SREG pressure to the valves that they control.
For electrical operation of the solenoids, refer to Transmission Electronic Control System in this section.
The LPC solenoid sends varying pressure to the main regulator valve to control line pressure.
In the PARK and NEUTRAL position, the TCM supplies low amperage to Shift Solenoid D (SSD) to apply
high-regulated pressure to the solenoid multiplex valve which directs the pressure to the D1 and D2 regulator
and latch valves to apply the low/reverse clutch (D).
In the REVERSE position, the TCM supplies low amperage to Shift Solenoid B (SSB) to apply high-regulated
pressure to the clutch B regulator and latch valves to apply the direct clutch (B). The TCM also supplies low
amperage to SSD to apply high-regulated pressure to the solenoid multiplex valve which directs the pressure
to the D1 and D2 regulator and latch valves to apply the low/reverse clutch (D).
In 1st gear, the TCM supplies high amperage to Shift Solenoid A (SSA) to apply high-regulated pressure to

the TCC , the TCM supplies high amperage to the TCC solenoid to apply high-regulated pressure to the
converter release regulator valve and the bypass clutch control regulator valve to apply the TCC .
In 3rd gear fail safe, all solenoids are off. SSB , in the off position, applies high pressure to the clutch B
regulator and latch valves to apply the direct clutch (B). The forward clutch (A) is hydraulically applied in 3rd
gear fail safe. The LPC solenoid provides maximum solenoid pressure to the main regulator valve for
maximum line pressure. Also, SSD is on which applies high pressure to the solenoid multiplex valve which is
directed to the drive enable valve where it is blocked.
To apply the forward clutch (A), the manual valve must be in the DRIVE, 3, 2 or 1 position to provide line
pressure to the clutch A regulator valve through the DRIVE circuit.
For the forward clutch (A) to apply, SSA provides regulated solenoid pressure from the SREG circuit to the
clutch A regulator and latch valves through the VFS1 circuit to position the valves to apply the forward clutch
(A). As the forward clutch is applied, SSA increases pressure to the clutch A regulator and latch valves.
The clutch A regulator valve provides regulated line pressure to the CL A circuit to apply the forward clutch
(A).

or the when the manual valve is in the DRIVE position with the transmission in 5th or 6th gear.
SSA lowers pressure to the clutch A regulator and latch valve to position the valves to lower the regulated line
pressure in the CL A circuit to release the clutch.

CL EXH circuit to the CL A circuit to fill the circuit and the forward clutch (A) with fluid at low pressure,
approximately 21 kPa (3 psi).
To apply the direct clutch (B), the manual valve can be in the REVERSE, DRIVE, 3, 2 or 1 position to
provide line pressure to the clutch B regulator valve through the REV/DRIVE circuit.
For the direct clutch (B) to apply in reverse, SSB provides regulated solenoid pressure from the SREG circuit
to the clutch B regulator and latch valves through the VFS2 circuit to position the valves to apply the direct
clutch (B). As the direct clutch is applied, SSB increases pressure to the clutch B regulator and latch valves.
The clutch B regulator valve provides regulated line pressure to the CL B circuit to apply the direct clutch (B).
When the direct clutch (B) is applied in 3rd and 5th gear, regulated solenoid pressure from the D1 latch valve
is supplied to the clutch B regulator valve through the VFS2D circuit and opposes pressure from the VFS2
circuit for clutch B valve positioning.
The direct clutch (B) is released when the manual valve is in the PARK or NEUTRAL position or when the
manual valve is in the DRIVE position with the transmission in 1st, 2nd, 4th or 6th gear.
In NEUTRAL or PARK, the manual valve does not supply line pressure to the clutch B regulator valve. SSB
lowers pressure to the clutch B regulator and latch valve to position the valves to lower the regulated line
pressure in the CL B circuit to release the clutch.
In 1st, 2nd, 4th or 6th gear, the manual valve supplies line pressure to the clutch B regulator valve. SSB
lowers pressure to the clutch B regulator and latch valve to position the valves to lower the regulated line
pressure in the CL B circuit to release the clutch.
When the direct clutch (B) is released in 1st, 2nd, 4th or 6th gear, the clutch (B) regulator valve directs
exhaust circuit pressure from the CL EXH circuit to the CL B circuit to fill the circuit and the direct clutch (B)
with fluid at low pressure, approximately 21 kPa (3 psi).
To apply the intermediate clutch (C), the manual valve can be in the DRIVE, 3, 2 or 1 position to provide line
pressure to the clutch C regulator valve through the DRIVE circuit.
SSC provides regulated solenoid pressure from the SREG circuit to the clutch C regulator valve through the
VFS3 circuit to position the valve to apply the intermediate clutch (C). As the intermediate clutch (C) is
applied, SSC increases pressure to the clutch C regulator valve.
The clutch C regulator valve provides regulated line pressure to the CL C circuit to apply the intermediate
clutch (C).
Regulated solenoid pressure from the clutch E latch valve is supplied to the clutch C regulator valve through
the VFS3E circuit and opposes VFS3 pressure for clutch C regulator valve positioning in 6th gear only.
To release the intermediate clutch (C) when the manual valve is in the DRIVE, 3, 2 or 1 position SSC lowers
pressure to the clutch C regulator valve to position the valve to lower the regulated line pressure in the CL C
circuit to release the clutch.
When the intermediate clutch (C) is released, the clutch C regulator valve directs exhaust circuit pressure from
the CL EXH circuit to the CL C circuit to fill the CL C circuit and the intermediate clutch (C) with fluid at
low pressure, approximately 21 kPa (3 psi).
In PARK, REVERSE or NEUTRAL, the manual valve does not supply line pressure to the clutch C regulator
valve.
To apply the low/reverse clutch (D), the manual valve can be in any position. Line pressure is supplied to the
D1 and D2 regulator and latch valves by the pump through the PUMP circuit.
SSD provides regulated solenoid pressure from the SREG circuit to the solenoid multiplex valve through the
VFS4 circuit where it is directed to the D1 and D2 regulator and latch valves through the CL DC circuit to
position the valves to apply the low/reverse clutch (D). As the low/reverse clutch (D) is applied, SSD
increases pressure to the D1 and D2 clutch regulator and latch valves.
The clutch D1 and D2 regulator valves provide regulated line pressure from the PUMP circuit to the CL D1
and CL D2 circuits to apply the low/reverse clutch (D).
To release the low/reverse clutch (D), the manual valve can be in the DRIVE, 3 or 2 position. SSD lowers
pressure to the VFS4 circuit which lowers pressure in the CL DC circuit to position the D1 and D2 regulator
and latch valves to lower pressure in the CL D1 and CL D2 circuits and release the low/reverse clutch (D).
When the low/reverse clutch (D) is released, the clutch D2 latch valve directs line pressure regulated to
approximately 21 kPa (3 psi) to the CL EXH circuit which fills the volume of the unused clutches and
circuits.
When the low/reverse clutch (D) is released, the CL EXH circuit supplies the D1 regulator valve which fills
the CL D1 circuit and the low/reverse (D) clutch.
To apply the O/D clutch (E), the manual valve must be in the DRIVE position. Line pressure is supplied to the
clutch E regulator valve.
SSD provides regulated solenoid pressure from the SREG circuit to the solenoid multiplex valve through the
VFS4 circuit. SSE supplies pressure to the solenoid multiplex valve and the drive enable valve to position the
valves to direct pressure from the VFS4 circuit to the CLEC F and CLEC circuits to position the clutch E
regulator and latch valves to apply the O/D clutch (E). As the O/D clutch (E) is applied, SSD increases
pressure to the clutch E regulator and latch valve.
The clutch E regulator valve provides regulated line pressure from the DRIVE circuit to the CLE circuit to
apply the O/D clutch (E).
To release the O/D clutch (E), the manual valve can be in any position. SSD lowers pressure to the VFS4
circuit which lowers pressure in the CLEC and CLEC F circuits and releases the O/D clutch (E). SSE blocks
SREG pressure to the solenoid multiplex valve and the drive enable valve to allow SSD to control low/reverse
clutch (D) operation.
When the O/D clutch (E) is released, the clutch E regulator valve directs exhaust circuit pressure from the CL
EXH circuit to the CL E circuit to fill the circuit and the clutch with fluid at low pressure, approximately 21
kPa (3 psi).
The Transmission Control Module (TCM) controls the functions of this transmission. The TCM is part of a
molded plastic leadframe module that is bolted to the mechatronic assembly. The leadframe module also has
the Turbine Shaft Speed (TSS) sensor, Output Shaft Speed (OSS) sensor, Transmission Range (TR) sensor
and Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) sensor integrated into it.
The TCM responds to inputs froe sensors and from the vehicle Controller Area Network (CAN) signal. The
TCM uses the inputs to control the line pressure, shift and TCC solenoids. The TCM also provides power and
ground for the reverse lamp relay coil and provides a PARK/NEUTRAL start enable signal.

The Line Pressure Control (LPC) solenoid is a Variable Force Solenoid (VFS) that varies hydraulic pressure
by actuating a hydraulic valve.
The TCM applies variable current to the LPC solenoid which varies pressure in the VFS5 hydraulic circuit to
the Main Regulator Valve. Refer to Hydraulic Circuits in this section for information.
With zero current, the LPC solenoid fully opens the hydraulic valve which applies the maximum amount of
hydraulic pressure to the Main Regulator Valve through the VFS5 hydraulic circuit and applies maximum line
pressure in the PUMP hydraulic circuit. With maximum current to the solenoid, the hydraulic valve fully
closes the outlet port for minimum pressure to the VFS5 hydraulic circuit to lower the line pressure in the
PUMP hydraulic circuit.
Line Pressure Control (LPC) Inversely Proportional Variable Force Solenoid (VFS)
The TCC solenoid is a VFS that varies hydraulic pressure by actuating a hydraulic valve.
The TCM applies variable current to the TCC solenoid which varies pressure in the VFS6 hydraulic circuit to
the Converter Release Regulator Valve and the Bypass Clutch Control Regulator Valve. Refer to Hydraulic
Circuits in this section.
The TCC solenoid uses proportional operation. As the current from the TCM decreases, the pressure from the
solenoid decreases. As the current from the TCM increases, the pressure from the solenoid increases. The
TCC solenoid is supplied hydraulic pressure from the SREG circuit.
With zero current, the TCC solenoid fully closes the hydraulic valve which applies the minimum amount of
hydraulic pressure to the Converter Release Regulator Valve and the Bypass Clutch Control Regulator Valve
through the VFS6 hydraulic circuit and releases the TCC . With maximum current to the solenoid, the
hydraulic valve fully opens the outlet port for maximum pressure to the VFS6 hydraulic circuit to apply the
TCC .

D1 and D2 latch and regulator valves.
In drive, the manual valve directs line pressure to the No. 1 shuttle valve and clutch A, C and E
regulator valves.
The No. 1 shuttle ball directs line pressure to the clutch B regulator valve.
When the TCC is applied, the bypass clutch control regulator valve applies pressure to the torque
converter through the CAPLY circuit to apply the TCC .
CAPLY pressure exits the torque converter through the CREL circuit to the converter release
regulator valve.
The lubrication control valve directs line pressure to the transmission fluid cooler or the thermal
bypass valve through the COOLF circuit.
When the transmission fluid exits the transmission fluid cooler or thermal bypass valve, it provides
lubrication to the transmission through the LUBE circuit. For information about transmission
lubrication, refer to Mechanical Components and Functions in this section.
The solenoid pressure regulator valve supplies regulated line pressure to the shift, LPC and TCC
solenoids through the SREG hydraulic circuit.
The LPC solenoid applies varying pressure to the main regulator valve through the VFS5 hydraulic
circuit. The LPC solenoid regulates line pressure by controlling the position of the main regulator
valve.

regulator valve.
The bypass clutch control regulator valve directs the pressure from the CAPLY circuit back to the
converter release regulator valve through the CAPLY EX circuit.
The converter release regulator valve directs the pressure from the CAPLY EX circuit to the drain
back valve through the DBACK circuit.
The lubrication control valve directs line pressure to the transmission fluid cooler or the thermal
bypass valve through the COOLF circuit.
When the transmission fluid exits the transmission fluid cooler or thermal bypass valve, it provides
lubrication to the transmission through the LUBE circuit. For information about transmission
lubrication, refer to Mechanical Components and Functions in this section.
The solenoid pressure regulator valve supplies line pressure to the shift, LPC and TCC solenoids
through the SREG hydraulic circuit.
The LPC solenoid applies full solenoid output pressure to the main regulator valve through the VFS5
hydraulic circuit. With full solenoid output pressure, the main regulator valve provides maximum line
pressure during fail safe.
SSB supplies maximum solenoid output pressure to the clutch B regulator valve to position the valve
for direct clutch (B) application.
Regulated line pressure from the clutch B regulator valve is supplied to the direct clutch (B) to, apply
the clutch. Regulated line pressure from the clutch B regulator valve is also supplied to the clutch A
latch valve from the clutch B latch valve through the BREV 5F circuit.
The clutch A latch valve directs the regulated line pressure to the drive enable valve through the

Diagnostic Strategy
Troubleshooting an electronically controlled automatic transmission is simplified by using the proven method
of diagnosis. One of the most important things to remember is that there is a definite procedure to follow.
NOTE: Do not take short cuts or assume that critical checks or adjustments have already been made.
Use the Diagnostic Flow Chart as a guide and follow the steps as indicated.
Preliminary Inspection
Diagnostics
Carry out On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) procedures, Key ON Engine OFF (KOEO) and Key
ON Engine Running (KOER).
Record all DTCs.
Repair all non-transmission codes first.
Repair all transmission codes second.
Clear all continuous codes and attempt to repeat them.
Repair all continuous codes.
If only codes that have passed are obtained, refer to Diagnosis By Symptom in this section for
additional information and diagnosis.
Follow the diagnostic sequence to diagnose and repair the concern the first time.
Special Tool(s)
Preliminary Inspection
The following items must be checked prior to beginning the diagnostic procedures:
In order to correctly diagnose a concern, first understand the customer concern or condition. Customer contact
may be required in order to begin to verify the concern. Understand the conditions, including when the
concern occurs. For example:
After understanding when and how the concern occurs, proceed to Verification of Condition.
Verification of Condition
This section provides information that must be used in both determining the actual cause of customer concerns
and carrying the appropriate procedures.
The following procedures must be used when verifying customer concerns for the transmission.
Determine customer concerns relative to vehicle use and dependent driving conditions, paying attention to the
following items:
NOTICE: The vehicle should not be driven if the transmission fluid level is low as internal transmission
failure could result.
NOTE: If the vehicle has been operated for an extended period at high highway speeds, in city traffic, during
hot weather or while pulling a trailer, the transmission fluid must cool down to obtain an accurate reading.
NOTE: If the transmission starts to slip, shifts slowly or shows signs of transmission fluid leaking, the
transmission fluid level should be checked.
This transmission is equipped with an internal thermal bypass located in the case. This internal thermal bypass
valve will shut off transmission fluid flowing to the transmission fluid cooler if the transmission fluid
temperature falls below normal operating temperature. Refer to Transmission Fluid Level Check in this
section.
The transmission can have 2 types of transmission fluid level indicators, the original or the replacement. The
original transmission fluid level indicator has a single crosshatch area for the fluid level. The replacement has
2 areas for the fluid level, a crosshatched (labeled A) area and a dotted (labeled B) area. Use the crosshatched
area when checking the transmission fluid level. The correct transmission fluid level is at the upper level of
the crosshatch marks on the transmission fluid level indicator.
NOTICE: A transmission fluid level that is too high can cause the transmission fluid to become aerated
due to the churning action of the rotating internal parts. This will cause erratic control pressure,
foaming, loss of transmission fluid from the vent tube and possible transmission failure.
If an overfill reading is indicated, remove any excessive transmission fluid. Refer to Transmission Fluid Level
Check in this section.
Low transmission fluid level can result in poor transmission engagement, slipping or failure. This may also
indicate a leak in one of the transmission seals or gaskets.
NOTICE: The use of any type of transmission fluid other than specified can result in transmission
failure.
NOTICE: The transmission fluid fill plug is located near the exhaust system. The exhaust will be
extremely hot during this procedure.
NOTICE: The vehicle should not be driven if the transmission fluid level is low as internal failure could
result.
Add transmission fluid using the refill procedure. Refer to Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill in this section.
2. Remove the transmission fluid fill plug and transmission fluid level indicator allowing the
transmission fluid to drip onto a facial tissue and examine the stain.
4. If evidence of solid material is found, remove the transmission fluid pan for further inspection.
5. If the stain is a foamy pink color, this may indicate coolant in the transmission. Inspect the engine
cooling system at this time.
6. If transmission fluid contamination or transmission failure is confirmed by the sediment in the bottom
of the transmission fluid pan, disassemble and completely clean the transmission. This includes the
torque converter and transmission fluid cooler tubes. Install a new auxiliary transmission fluid cooler.
To correctly repair an automatic transmission that had water or coolant introduced into the system, completely
disassemble, clean and replace the following parts:
Prior to installing the transmission, the transmission fluid cooler(s), transmission fluid cooler tubes and hoses
need to be flushed and cleaned.
Special Tool(s)
3. Apply minimum thle and observe speeds at which upshift occurs and the torque converter engages.
Refer to the Shift Speeds chart in this section.
4. With the selector lever in O/D , move the selector lever into the manual 3 position. The transmission
should downshift to 4th gear. Release the accelerator pedal; engine braking should occur.
5. Press the accelerator pedal to floor, Wide Open Throttle (WOT). Transmission should shift from 4th
to 3rd, depending on vehicle speed. The torque converter should disengage and then reapply.
6. With the selector lever in the Overdrive (O/D) position and vehicle speed above 80 km/h (50 mph)
and less than half throttle, move the selector lever from the O/D position to manual 2 position and
release the accelerator pedal. The transmission should downshift into 2nd gear. With the transmission
remaining in the manual 2 position, move the selector lever into the manual 1 position and release the
accelerator pedal. The transmission should downshift into 1st gear at speeds below approximately
45-56 km/h (28-35 mph).
7. If the transmission fails to upshift/downshift or the torque converter does not apply and release, refer
to Diagnosis By Symptom in this section.
Shift Speeds
NOTE: Shift speed ranges are approximate for all applications. For specific applications (engine, axle
ratio, tire size and application), refer to the Automatic Transmission Specification booklet. Always
drive the vehicle in a safe manner according to driving conditions and obey all traffic laws.
2. NOTE: Disconnecting the battery will not clear the Keep Alive Memory (KAM).
Using the scan tool, clear the Transmission Control Module (TCM) KAM and the adaptive table
before conducting an adaptive drive cycle test.
3. Using the scan tool verify the transmission fluid is at normal operating temperature, between
80C-82C (176F-180F). If the transmission fluid is not at operating temperature, drive the vehicle
approximately 5 km (3.1 mi) to reach operating temperature.
4. NOTE: The transmission fluid must be at operating temperature before proceeding to this step.
Drive the vehicle to perform adaptive shift strategy learn on a level road surface.
1. Accelerate from a stop with light throttle to 24 km/h (15 mph) and then release the accelerator
pedal.
2. Gently brake and bring the vehicle to a stop and hold the brake for 6 seconds.
3. Repeat Substeps 1 and 2 an additional 5 times.
4. Accelerate from a stop with light throttle so the 1-2, 2-3 and 3-4 shifts occur with engine
speeds between 1,700-2,000 rpm.
5. Continue accelerating until either the vehicle speed reaches 80(50 mph) or the 5-6 upshift is
reached.
6. Gently brake and bring the vehicle to a stop and hold the brake for 10 seconds.
7. Repeat Substeps 4, 5 and 6 an additional 3 times.
Special Tool(s)
1. Preliminary inspection.
3. Verify the condition - carry out the Torque Converter Operation Test.
The Torque Converter Operation Test verifies the Torque Converter Clutch (TCC) control system and the
torque converter are operating correctly.
1. Perform a self-test with the scan tool. Refer to the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED)
manual. Check for DTCs.
3. Bring the engine to normal operating temperature by driving the vehicle at highway speeds with the
selector lever in the Overdrive (O/D) position.
5. Release the accelerator pedal and monitor the scan tool Throttle Position (TP) voltage to
approximately 1.25 volts or 25% throttle.
6. Monitor the TCC and RPM TCM PIDs. The torque converter should release and engine rpms should
increase before the 5-4 shift occurs.
NOTE: The following is a list of common vehicle concerns that have been misdiagnosed as torque converter
shudder. For diagnosis of the following items, refer to the appropriate sections of the workshop manual and
the Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual.
Visual Inspection
A visual inspection will identify modifications or additions to the vehicle operating system that may affect
diagnosis. Inspect the vehicle for non-Ford factory add-on devices such as:
These items, if not installed correctly, will affect the PCM or transmission function. Pay particular attention to
add-on wiring splices in the PCM harness or transmission wiring harness, abnormal tire size or axle ratio
changes.
Check for a misadjustment in the selector lever by matching the detents in the Transmission Range (TR)
selector lever with those of the manual control lever in the transmission.
Hydraulic leakage at the manual control valve can cause delay in engagements and/or slipping while operating
if the linkage is not correctly adjusted. Refer to Section 307-05 for selector lever cable adjustment.
Refer to all TSB and On-Line Automotive Service Information System (OASIS) messages that pertain to the
transmission concern and follow the procedure as described.

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 29 , Transmission Controls for schematic and connector information.
NOTE: Refer to Transmission Vehicle Harness illustration within the Transmission Connector Layouts
procedure in this section.
The special tests are designed to aid the technician in diagnosing the hydraulic and mechanical portions of the
transmission.

4 Direct clutch (B) port
5 Overdrive clutch (E) port
6 Forward clutch (A) port
7 Thermal bypass valve
A no-drive condition can exist with correct transmission fluid pressure because of inoperative clutches. Refer
to the Clutch Application Chart to determine the appropriate elements. A clutch concern can be located
through a series of checks by substituting air pressure for fluid pressure to determine the location of the
concern.
Example: When the selector lever is in a forward gear range, a no-drive condition may be caused by an
inoperative clutch.
2. Remove the transmission fluid filter, seal assembly and mechatronic unit.
3. Locate the inoperative clutches by applying air pressure into the appropriate clutch port.
Leakage Inspection
Special Tool(s)
Material
Item Specification
Dye-Lite ATF/Power Steering Fluid -
Leak Detection
164-R3701 (Rotunda)
NOTE: When diagnosing transmission leaks, the source of the leak must be positively identified prior to
repair. If the vehicle is driven extensively between adding the fluorescent additive and performing the leak
test, the leaking oil can spread and make identifying the location of the leak difficult.
1. Clean off any transmission fluid from the top and bottom of the torque converter housing, the front of
the case and rear face of the engine and oil pan. Clean the torque converter area by washing with a
nonflammable solvent and blow dry with compressed air.
2. Add Dye-Lite ATF Power Steering Fluid Leak Detection Dye to the transmission fluid. Use one 30
ml (1 fl. oz) of dye solution for every 3.8 L (4 qt) of transmission fluid.
3. Start and run the engine until the transmission reaches its normal operating temperature. Raise the
vehicle on a hoist and run the engine occasionally shifting to the DRIVE and REVERSE ranges to
increase pressure within the transmission. Using a black light, observe the back of the cylinder block
and top of the torque converter housing for evidence of fluid leakage. Run the engine until
transmission fluid leakage is evident and the probable source of leakage can be determined.
4. If the source of the leak is obvious, repair as required. Leaks from the torque converter housing can
originate from several locations. The paths which the fluid takes to reach the bottom of the torque
converter hous are shown in the illustration. The 5 steps following correspond with the numbers in the
illustration.
1. Transmission fluid leaking by the converter hub seal lip will tend to move along the drive hub
and onto the back of the torque converter. Except in the case of a total seal failure,
transmission fluid leakage by the lip of the seal will be deposited on the inside of the torque
converter housing only, near the outside diameter of the housing.
2. Transmission fluid leakage by the outside diameter of the converter impeller hub seal and the
case will follow the same path that leaks by the ID of the converter hub seal follow.
3. Transmission fluid leakage from the converter cover weld or the converter-to-flexplate stud
weld will appear at outside diameter of torque converter on the back face of the flexplate and
in the converter housing only near the flexplate. If a converter-to-flexplate lug, lug weld or
converter cover weld leak is suspected, remove the converter and pressure check.
4. Transmission fluid leakage from the bolts inside the converter housing will flow down the
back of the torque converter housing. Leakage may be from loose or missing bolts.
5. Engine oil leaks from the rear main oil.
6. Using a black light, observe the torque converter housing. Inspect for evidence of dye from the pump
bolts, pump seal, and torque converter hub seal. Repair as required.
7. If the source of the leak is not evident, continue with this procedure to leak test the torque converter.
8. Install the torque converter in the arbor press. Support the torque converter on the mounting pads.
9. Install the Leak Tester, Torque Converter 307-691 into the torque converter hub. Tighten to 25 Nm.
10. Secure the press. Only apply enough force from the press to seal the Leak Tester, Torque Converter
307-691 into the torque converter hub.
11. Connect a compressed air supply to the Leak Tester, Torque Converter 307-691.
12. With air pressure applied to valve, inspect for leaks at the converter hub weld and seams. A soap
bubble solution can be applied around those areas to aid in the diagnosis. If any leaks are present,
install a new torque converter.
13. With air pressure applied to valve, inspect for leaks at the stud or mounting pad and balance weight
welds. A soap bubble solution can be applied around those areas to aid in the diagnosis. If any leaks
are present, install a new torque converter.
14. After leaks are repaired, clean the remaining transmission fluid dye from serviced areas.
NOTICE: If the transmission is disassembled to install new parts, backflush and clean the transmission
fluid cooler and transmission fluid cooler tubes.
NOTE: Cleaning and backflushing the transmission fluid cooling system, along with following all the normal
cleaning and inspection procedures during disassembly and reassembly, keeps contaminants from entering the
transmission, causing a repeat repair.
When internal wear or damage has occurred in the transmission, metal particles or clutch plate material may
have been carried into the torque converter and transmission fluid cooler. These contaminants are a major
cause of recurring transmission troubles and must be removed from the system before the transmission is put
back into use. For backflushing and cleaning procedures, refer to Transmission Fluid Cooler Backflushing and
Cleaning in this section.
Diagnosis By Symptom
The Diagnosis By Symptom gives the technician diagnostic information and direction, and suggests possible
components using a symptom as a starting point. All routines start out with any potential electrical
components that can cause or contribute to the symptom described. The routines then list all possible
hydraulic or mechanical components that can cause or contribute the symptom described.
1. Using the Diagnosis by Symptom, select the condition that best describes the condition.
4. NOTE: Not all concerns and conditions with electrical components will set a DTC. Be aware that
components listed may still be the cause. Verify correct function of these components prior to
proceeding to the Hydraulic/Mechanical Routine listed.
NOTE: When the battery is disconnected or a new battery is installed, certain transmission operating
parameters can be lost. The Transmission Control Module (TCM) must relearn these parameters.
During this learning process, slightly firm shifts, delayed or early shifts may occur. This operation is
considered normal and will not affect the function of the transmission. Normal operation will return
once these parameters are stored in the TCM .
Begin with the ROUTINES, if indicated. Follow the reference or action required statements. Always
perform the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) tests as required. Never skip steps. Repair as required. If the
concern is still present after electrical diagnosis, proceed to the Hydraulic/Mechanical Routine listed.
5. The list contains only possible hydraulic or mechanical components that may cause or contribute to
the concern. These components are listed in the removal sequence and by most probable cause. All
components listed must be inspected to make sure that repairs are complete.

Refill
NOTICE: This procedure contains the air purge steps required to purge air from the transmission fluid
cooling system. This procedure is NOT intended for use with the Transmission Fluid Level Check.
NOTICE: The vehicle should not be driven if the transmission fluid level is low as internal failure could
result.
NOTICE: The transmission fluid fill plug is located near the exhaust system. The exhaust will be
extremely hot during this procedure.
NOTICE: The use of any other transmission fluid than specified can result in the transmission failing to
operate in a normal manner or transmission failure.
NOTE: If the transmission starts to slip, shifts slowly or shows signs of transmission fluid leaking, the
transmission fluid level should be checked.
NOTE: Here is an overview of the Transmission Fluid Drain and Refill procedure.
Adding 3.3L (3.5 qt) of transmission fluid to the transmission is an initial fill enabling the engine to
be started.
The cold level range shown in the procedure allows the vehicle to be driven.
The vehicle should be driven to allow the Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) to reach 85C-88C
(185F-190F) in order to purge the air from the transmission fluid cooling system.
Fill the transmission fluid to the fill range on the transmission fluid level indicator at the normal
operating range 80C-85C (176F-185F).
1. NOTE: The transmission will need 3.3L (3.5 qt) of transmission fluid added to the transmission as an
initial fill if:
Using the Transmission Fluid Fill Tube, add the transmission fluid tansmission through the
transmission fluid fill hole. For additional information, refer to Adding Additional Transmission Fluid
in this procedure.
2. Separate the transmission fluid level indicator from the transmission fluid fill plug.
3. Wipe the transmission fluid level indicator clean. Reinstall the transmission fluid level indicator only
back into the transmission fluid fill plug hole to check the transmission fluid level. Repeat this until a
consistent reading is established.
4. NOTE: The transmission can have 2 types of transmission fluid level indicators, the original or the
replacement. The original transmission fluid level indicator has a single crosshatch area for the fluid
level. The replacement has 2 areas for the fluid level, a crosshatched (labeled A) area and a dotted
(labeled B) area.
Add transmission fluid to the cold level location as shown in the illustration.
6. While driving the vehicle, use the scan tool to verify that the TFT has reached a temperature of 88C
(190F). This will circulate the transmission fluid through the torque converter and the transmission
fluid cooling system, eliminating any trapped air in the transmission fluid cooling system.
With the engine idling (600-750 rpm) in PARK, verify that the TFT is between 80C-85C
(176F-185F).
7. Remove the transmission fluid fill plug transmission fluid level indicator assembly located on the
passenger side front portion of the transmission case.
8. Separate the transmission fluid level indicator from the traion fluid fill plug.
9. Wipe the transmission fluid level indicator clean. Reinstall the transmission fluid level indicator only
back into the transmission fluid fill plug hole to check the transmission fluid level. Repeat this until a
consistent reading is established.
10. NOTE: The transmission can have 2 types of transmission fluid level indicators, the original or the
replacement. The original transmission fluid level indicator has a single crosshatch area for the fluid
level. The replacement has 2 areas for the fluid level, a crosshatched (labeled A) area and a dotted
(labeled B) area. Use the crosshatched area when checking the transmission fluid level. The correct
transmission fluid level is at the upper level of the crosshatch marks on the transmission fluid level
indicator.
Using the scan tool verify that the TFT is between 80C-85C (176F-185F). The transmission fluid
level must be at the upper level of the crosshatch mark.
11. NOTE: If the transmission fluid is not at the correct level, follow the steps for Adding
Additional Transmission Fluid or Removing Transmission Fluid in this procedure.
NOTE: To get an accurate transmission fluid level reading the engine should be idling (600-750 rpm)
in PARK.
1. Install the Transmission Fluid Fill Tube into the transmission fluid fill hole.
2. Fill the Transporter Fluid Evacuator/Injector with approximately 0.47L (1 pt) of transmission
fluid.
3. Hang the Transporter Fluid Evacuator/Injector under the vehicle, upright and close to the
transmission.
4. Connect the Transporter Fluid Evacuator/Injector and Transmission Fluid Fill Tube.
Connect the open end of the fluid hose from the Transporter Fluid Evacuator/Injector
onto the Transmission Fluid Fill Tube from the transmission case.
5. Use a Rubber Tip Air Nozzle to apply a maximum of 206.85 kPa (30 psi) to the open end of
the vacuum/pressure hose from the Transporter Fluid Evacuator/Injector. Transmission fluid
will immediately start flowing out of the Transporter Fluid Evacuator/Injector into the
transmission.
6. NOTE: Do not overfill the transmission. The transmission fluid level must be at the upper
level of the crosshatch mark.
Reinstall the transmission fluid level indicator only back into the transmission fluid fill plug
hole to check the transmission fluid level. Repeat this until a consistent reading is established.
7. Using the scan tool, verify that the TFT is between 80C-85C (176F-185F). The
transmission fluid level must be at the upper level of the crosshatch mark.
1. Original transmission fluid level indicator
2. Replacement transmission fluid level indicator
8. NOTE: If the transmission fluid is over full, follow the steps for Removing Transmission
Fluid in this procedure.
NOTE: To get an accurate transmission fluid level reading the engine should be idling (600-750 rpm)
in PARK.
1. If the transmission is overfilled, transmission fluid must be removed to the correct level. Use
the Transporter Fluid Evacuator/Injector and the Vacuum Pump Kit to extract any excessive
transmission fluid.
2. Using the scan tool, verify that the TFT is between 80C-85C (176F-185F). The
transmission fluid level must be at the upper level of the crosshatch mark. Reinstall the
transmission fluid level indicator only back into the transmission fluid fill plug hole to check
the transmission fluid level. Repeat this until a consistent reading is established.

replacement. The original transmission fluid level indicator has a single crosshatch area for the fluid
level. The replacement has 2 areas for the fluid level, a crosshatched (labeled A) area and a dotted
(labeled B) area. Use the crosshatched area when checking the transmission fluid level. The correct
transmission fluid level is at the upper level of the crosshatch marks on the transmission fluid level
indicator.
Using the scan tool, verify that the Transmission Fluid Temperature (TFT) is between 80C-85C
(176F-185F). Do not overfill the transmission. The transmission fluid level must be at the upper
level of the crosshatch mark.
7. NOTE: If the transmission fluid is not at the correct level, follow the steps for Adding Additional

Torque Specifications
External Controls
The selector lever cable transfers the transmission operating mode from the selector lever to the automatic
transmission. The indicated position of the selector lever is transferred to the transmission through the steering
column mounted selector lever, or the floor mounted selector lever, then to the cable and down to the manual
control lever on the transmission.
The brake shift interlock system prevents moving the selector lever from the PARK position until the brake
pedal is applied. The brake shift interlock system consists of a Brake Shift Interlock Actuator (BSIA) mounted
at the upper end of the steering column. When the ignition switch is in the RUN position and the selector lever
is in PARK, the BSIA is energized when the brake pedal is applied. This will allow the selector lever to be
moved from the PARK position.
The brake shift interlock system prevents moving the selector lever from the PARK position until the brake
pedal is applied. The brake shift interlock system consists of a BSIA mounted on the floor selector lever.
When the ignition switch is in the RUN position and the selector lever is in PARK, the BSIA is energized
when the brake pedal is applied. This will allow the selector lever to be moved from the PARK position.
Tow/Haul Switch
The tow/haul switch is a momentary contact switch that is located on the end of the column selector lever or
on the floor selector lever knob. To activate the tow/haul feature, press the button on the end of the selector
lever or floor selector lever knob. The tow/haul feature delays upshifts to reduce frequency of transmission
shifting. tow/haul also provides engine braking in all forward gears when the selector lever is in the (D)
position; this engbraking will slow the vehicle and assist the driver in controlling the vehicle when descending
a grade. Depending on driving and load conditions, the transmission may downshift, slow the vehicle and
control the vehicle speed when descending a hill. To deactivate the tow/haul feature and return to normal
driving mode, press the tow/haul switch on the end of the selector lever or floor selector lever knob. The
words TOW HAUL will no longer be illuminated on the Instrument Cluster (IC). When the ignition switch is
cycled, the transmission will automatically return to normal (D) mode (Tow/Haul OFF). Do not use the
tow/haul feature when driving in icy conditions.

SECTION 308-07A: Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Systems 2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
SPECIFICATIONS Procedure revision date: 08/12/2010
Material
Torque Specifications
The 1-speed torque-on-demand (Navigator) and 2-speed torque-on-demand (Expedition) Four-Wheel Drive
(4WD) systems consist of the following:
Vacuum reservoir
IWE solenoid
IWEs (spring-loaded vacuum hubs)
Vacuum hoses
Check valve
The IWE system uses vacuum hubs that engage the front wheel hubs to the front halfshafts or disengage the
front wheel hubs from the front halfshafts.
The IWE solenoid receives engine vacuum from the vacuum reservoir.
When the 4WD system is in 2-Wheel Drive (2WD) mode, the 4X4 control module supplies a ground path to
the IWE solenoid to apply vacuum to the IWEs (disengaging the front hubs from the front halfshafts). In 4WD
mode, the 4X4 control module does not supply the ground path to the IWE solenoid, vacuum is not applied to
the IWEs and an internal spring keeps the front hubs engaged to the front halfshafts.
SECTION 308-07A: Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Systems 2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING Procedure revision date: 08/12/2010
Special Tool(s)
Principles of Operation
The Navigator is equipped with an automatic, electronic-shift system that allows the operator to choose (by
pressing the mode select buttons) between 3 different modes: 4X2, 4X4 AUTO and 4X4. The operator can
switch between any mode at any speed.
Wheel slip is sensed by monitoring the average front and rear wheel speeds. Based on steering w angle,
Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) and wheel slip, a Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) signal is transmitted to
the transfer case as torque is required. The Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) will provide the ABS with
current clutch duty cycle and whether or not ABS may command the clutch duty cycle.
The brake subsystem sends the following information signals to the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) system over the
High Speed Controller Area Network (HS-CAN):
A concern with any of the above listed brake system signals or the HS-CAN will affect operation of the 4WD
system.
The APP output signal is provided to the TCCM from the PCM. This signal is used by the TCCM in
controlling the transfer case clutch.
The TCCM sends a duty cycle command to the clutch coil which activates the clutch within the transfer case.
The TCCM varies the torque sent to the front driveline by controlling the transfer case clutch. At rest and
under cruising conditions, the TCCM activates the transfer case clutch at minimum duty cycle (percentage of
time the clutch is turned on), which allows for the slight difference between the front and rear driveshafts
which normally occurs when negotiating a corner on dry pavement. Under any of the following conditions,
the TCCM will increase the duty cycle in order to prevent or control slip:
Slip is detected
Feature inputs:
Feature outputs:

3. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before
proceeding to the next step.
4. NOTE: Make sure to use the latest scan tool software release.
If the cause is not visually evident, connect the scan tool to the Data Link Connector (DLC).
8. Clear the DTCs and carry out the self-test diagnostics for the TCCM .
9. NOTE: Before carrying out the on-demand self test, make sure that:
10. If no DTCs related to the concern are retrieved, GO to Symptom Chart - Four Wheel Drive (4WD) or

Normal Operation
The high-low shift occurs when the reduction shift fork moves the high-low collar to lock the planetary gear
set to the output shaft. The torque transmitted through the sun gear from the input shaft turns the front
planetary gear set assembly. The front planetary gear set assembly, now engaged, provides transfer case speed
reduction. Certain criteria, such as vehicle speed and Transmission Range (TR) selection must be met before
this shift can occur. Systematically check the necessary inputs and outputs of the Transfer Case Control
Module (TCCM), components of the transfer case, Integrated Wheel End (IWE) components and halfshafts.

Pinpoint Test Q: Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) Does Not Engage at Speed Correctly
Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 34 , Four-Wheel Drive System for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
When the operator selects a transfer case mode from 2H mode, the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM)
engages a clutch for approximately 5 seconds to synchronize the front and rear driveshafts allowing a
mechanical engagement of the transfer case. The TCCM also removes the ground path from the Integrated
Wheel End (IWE) solenoid, which removes vacuum from the IWEs , allowing them to engage the front axle
shaft. Systematically check the necessary inputs and outputs at the TCCM , internal components of the
transfer case, IWE components and drive axles.

Refer to Wiring Diagrams Cell 34 , Four-Wheel Drive System for schematic and connector information.
Normal Operation
In 4X2 mode, the Transfer Case Control Module (TCCM) provides a ground path to the Integrated Wheel End
(IWE) solenoid to supply vacuum to each IWE (disengaging the front hubs from the front axle). During
certain conditions such as Wide Open Throttle (WOT) maneuvers, manifold vacuum is lower than desired. To
maintain uninterrupted IWE function in 4X2, stored engine vacuum is sourced from the vacuum reservoir. A
one-way check valve is implemented between the vacuum reservoir and the IWE solenoid to prevent the
stored vacuum from escaping into the manifold during low engine vacuum conditions. For noise-free IWE
operation under all conditions, the check valve must be operating correctly.

Torque Specifications
Transfer Case
Two-Speed Torque-On-Demand
The Borg-Warner 2-speed torque-on-demand transfer case is a 2-piece magnesium design. The transfer case
transfers engine power from the transmission to the front and rear axles. Under normal driving conditions, the
unit is in 2 wheel drive high (2H), but when desired, the operator may shift into 4 wheel drive high (4H) or 4
wheel drive low (4L). When shifting into or out of LOW range, the TCCM requires that the vehicle speed is
less than 5 km/h (3 mph) and the transmission is in NEUTRAL. The transfer case is equipped with an internal
electromagnetic clutch and is shifted electronically. This clutch is used to synchronize the front driveline. The
unit is lubricated by a positive displacement fluid pump that channels fluid flow through holes in the rear
output shaft.
One-Speed Torque-On-Demand
The Borg-Warner 1-speed torque-on-demand transfer case is a 2-piece magnesium design. The transfer case
transfers engine power from the transmission to the front and rear axles. Under normal driving conditions, the
unit is in All-Wheel Drive (AWD), but when desired, the operator may shift into 4 wheel drive high (4H). The
operator can switch between 2-Wheel Drive (2WD), AWD and Four-Wheel Drive (4WD) HIGH mode at any
speed. The transfer case is equipped with an internal electromagnetic clutch and is shifted electronically. In
AWD , the 4X4 control module varies the torque split between front and rear drivelines by controlling the
transfer case clutch. Under most conditions, the 4X4 control module activates the transfer case clutch at a
minimum duty cycle (percentage of time the clutch is turned on) which allows for a slight speed difference
between the front and rear drivelines which normally occurs when negotiating a corner on dry pavement.
When the rear wheels are overpowered, the 4X4 control module detects this slip condition and the duty cycle
to the transfer case clutch is increased until the speed difference between front and rear drivelines is reduced.
In this manner, the 4X4 control module can redirect engine torque to the front wheels when the rear wheels
lose traction, yet still allow operation in the AWD mode on dry pavement. The unit is lubricated by a positive
displacement fluid pump that channels fluid flow through holes in the rear output shaft.
IWE
The IWE system uses vacuum hubs that engage or disengage the front wheel hubs from the front halfshafts.
The IWE solenoid receives engine vacuum from the vacuum reservoir.
When the 4 wheel drive system is in 2H mode, the TCCM supplies a ground path to the IWE solenoid to
apply vacuum to the IWE (disengaging the front hubs from the front halfshafts). In 4WD mode, the TCCM
does not supply the ground path to the IWE solenoid, vacuum is not applied to the IWE and an internal spring
keeps the front hubs engaged to the front halfshafts.

Torque Specifications
Exhaust System
Exhaust System
The exhaust system provides an exit for exhaust gases and reduces engine noise by passing exhaust gases
through the catalytic converter and a muffler assembly. Rubber exhaust hanger insulators attach the exhaust
system to the mounting hooks.
Catalytic Converter
The catalytic converter plays a major role in the emission control system. The catalytic converter operates as a
gas reactor. Its catalytic function is to speed the heat-producing chemical reaction of components in the
exhaust gases in order to reduce air pollutants. The catalyst material inside the catalytic converter consists of a
ceramic substrate.
The catalytic converter is designed to provide a long life. No maintenance is necessary for the catalytic
converter.
Sound insulators and shields attached to the underbody protect the vehicle from exhaust system heat and
should be inspected at regular intervals to make sure they are not dented or out of position. If a sound
insulator or shield is damaged or shows evidence of deterioration, a new sound insulator or shield should be
installed. The sound insulators and shields for the muffler assembly and exhaust Y-pipe dual catalytic
converter are installed separately.
Precautions
NOTICE: Do not use leaded fuel in a vehicle equipped with a catalytic converter. In a vehicle that is
continually misfueled, the lead in the fuel will be deposited in the catalytic converter and completely
blanket the catalyst. Lead reacts with platinum to "poison" the catalyst. Continuous use of leaded fuel
can destroy the catalyst and render the catalytic converter useless.
NOTICE: The addition of lead to the catalytic converter can also solidify the catalyst, causing excessive
back pressure in the exhaust system and possibly causing engine damage.
NOTICE: Extremely high temperatures (1,100C [2,012F] or above) due to misfiring or over-rich
fuel/air mixture will cause the ceramic substrate to sinter or burn, destroying the catalytic converter.
Do not continue to operate the vehicle if the engine is misfiring, there is a power loss or other unusual
operating conditions, such as engine overheating and backfiring.
NOTE: Exhaust fasteners are of a prevailing torque design. Use only new fasteners with the same part
number as the original. Torque values must be used as specified during reassembly to make sure of correct
retention of exhaust components.
Make sure to follow these precautions when carrying out the procedures in this section.
Exhaust System
Principles of Operation
The exhaust system provides an exit for exhaust gases and reduces engine noise by passing exhaust gases
through the catalytic converters and a muffler assembly. The catalytic converters also play a major role in
reducing air pollutants.
1. Verify the concern by running the engine (with the vehicle on the ground) or road testing the vehicle
to duplicate the condition.
2. Visually inspect the components of the exhaust system and related controls that may affect exhaust
gas quality or loss of power.
3. Visually inspect for obvious signs of mechanical damage. Refer to the following chart.

Fuel System
Special Tool(s)
Principles of Operation
NOTE: The following procede diagnoses a slow-to-fill concern only. For all other concerns, refer to the
Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis (PC/ED) manual.
The fuel tank filler pipe assembly is used to refuel the vehicle. The fuel tank inlet check valve prevents
spitback of fuel during and after refueling. The fuel tank stores the fuel. The fuel tank contains a Fuel Pump
(FP) module. The FP module consists of a fuel level sender and a FP . The fuel level sender sends a signal to
the fuel gauge informing the driver of how much fuel is in the fuel tank. The FP provides fuel to the fuel tubes
which supply the fuel rail.
During refueling, the fuel tank vents to the atmosphere through the vent and filler pipes, on vehicles without
On-Board Refueling Vapor Recovery (ORVR) systems. In vehicles equipped with ORVR , the fuel tank and
filler pipe are designed so that when the vehicle is being refueled, fuel vapors in the fuel tank travel to the
Evaporative Emission (EVAP) canister, which absorbs the fuel vapors and vents the pressure from the fuel
tank during refueling.
WARNING: Do not smoke, carry lighted tobacco or have an open flame of any type when working
on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always present and may be
ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Do not carry personal electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers or audio
equipment of any type when working on or near any fuel-related component. Highly flammable
mixtures are always present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING: When handling fuel, always observe fuel handling precautions and be prepared in the
event of fuel spillage. Spilled fuel may be ignited by hot vehicle components or other ignition sources.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
WARNING: Always disconnect the battery ground cable at the battery when working on an
evaporative emission (EVAP) system or fuel-related component. Highly flammable mixtures are always
present and may be ignited. Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious personal injury.
NOTE: Do not use incandescent lights when inspecting the fuel system. Use only flourescent or LED
lighting.
1. Verify the customer concern by refueling the vehicle and observe the fuel fill rate.

Torque Specifications
Description Nm lb-ft
Adjustable accelerator pedal bolts 25 18
Fixed accelerator pedal bolts 25 18
Acceleration Control
The throttle is controlled by an Accelerator Pedal Position (APP) sensor on the accelerator pedal assembly.
The APP sensor sends a signal to the PCM in response to throttle pedal movements initiated by the driver.
The PCM sends a signal to the electronic throttle control which increases and decreases throttle position.
Some vehicles are equipped with adjustable pedals. This allows both the accelerator and brake pedals to be
adjusted simultaneously forward or rearward. A rocker switch on the instrument panel provides adjustment on
the pedal assembly when it is activated. On vehicles with the memory seat option, the pedal position can be
controlled by the memory selection, as well as the rocker switch. The components in the acceleration control
system cannot be repaired, new components must be installed if damaged or worn. When servicing the
adjustable accelerator pedal, always disconnect the cable at the brake pedal.

Steering System
The power steering system transfers driver inputs at the steering wheel to the front wheels of the vehicle. The
steering column, hydraulic system and linkages that transfer these driver inputs make up the steering system.
Gearing and hydraulic assist are used to significantly reduce steering efforts.
For information on the power steering fluid reservoir, power steering pump, power steering lines and steering
gear, refer to Section 211-02 .
For information on the steering wheel, steering column and steering column shaft, refer to Section 211-04 .

Principles of Operation
Power Steering
The power steering system uses a vane-type pump to move the fluid from the reservoir to the steering gear
and through the rest of the steering hydraulic system. The power steering pump is mounted to the engine and
driven by the engine accessory drive belt. Power steering fluid flows into the pump from the reservoir. The
power steering fluid is trapped between the pump vanes and moved to the high-pressure side of the pump,
creating a flow of fluid. The restriction of this flow by the steering gear creates the pressure that provides the
steering assist. A combined pressure relief/flow valve is built into the pump to control the maximum pressure
and flow provided to the steering system. This action prevents damage to the system and provides the correct
level of assist during all engine speeds. While under pressure, the power steering fluid flows through the
high-pressure power steering line to the steering gear. The fluid exits the gear and flows through the return
line, cooler and finally to the reservoir. The reservoir slows the fluid, allows air to escape and filters the fluid
before returning it to the pump.

4. NOTE: It may be necessary to add power steering fluid to achieve the correct level.
Check the fluid level and clean the power steering components.
With the ignition OFF:
check the power steering fluid level and add fluid as necessary.
wipe off any visible signs of fluid or residue build up.
NOTICE: Do not hold the steering wheel at the stops for an extended amount of time.
Damage to the power steering pump may occur.
Start the engine and turn the steering wheel from stop-to-stop several times.
5. Visually inspect the power steering hydraulic line/hose connections for damage or leaks.
If a leak is detected at a threaded fitting or clamp plate joint, tighten to specification. If the
leak is still evident, visually inspect the O-rings or Teflon seals. Install new O-rings or
Teflon seals as necessary. Refer to Section 211-02 .
If a leak is detected at a constant tension spring clamp, verify that the hose is not damaged
and fully installed on the hose fitting. Make sure that the constant tension spring clamp is
positioned 2 mm (0.078 in) from the end of the hose. If the leak remains, install a new
constant tension spring clamp.
If a leak is detected at a screw clamp joint, verify that the hose is not damaged and fully
installed on the hose fitting and the clamp is positioned 2 mm (0.078 in) from the end of the
hose before tightening the screw clamp. If the leak remains, install a new screw clamp. Refer
to Section 211-02 .
If a leak is detected at the Power Steering Pressure (PSP) switch, install a new switch as
necessary.
If a leak is detected in the steering gear, repair or install a new steering gear. Refer to Section
211-02 .
If a leak is detected in the power steering reservoir, install a new reservoir. Refer to Section
211-02 .
7. For information on power steering leak detection, refer to Component Tests in this section.
8. If an obvious cause for an observed or reported concern is found, correct the cause (if possible) before
proceeding.
9. If the cause is not visually evident, verify the symptom and GO to Symptom Chart - Steering System
or GO to Symptom Chart - NVH .
Drift/Pull
Pull is described as a tugging sensation felt by the hands on the steering wheel that must be overcome to keep
the vehicle going straight.
Drift describes what a vehicle with this condition does with the hands off the steering wheel.
A vehicle-related drift/pull on a flat road can cause a consistent deviation from the straight-ahead path
and require constant steering input in the opposite direction to counteract the effect.
Drift/pull can be induced by conditions external to the vehicle, such as wind or road camber.
Excessive steering wheel play is a condition in which there is too much steering wheel movement before the
wheels move. A small amount of steering wheel free play is considered normal.
Drift/Pull 3153
2011 Expedition, Navigator Workshop Manual
Lack of Assist or Inconsistent Assist
Lack of assist or inconsistent assist is experienced when the steering wheel effort is higher than normal. Hard
steering can remain constant through the full turn or occur near the end of a turn. It is important to know the
difference between hard steering/lack of assist and poor returnability/sticky steering.
Hard steering or lack of assist can result from either hydraulic or mechanical conditions. It is extremely
important to know if this concern occurs during driving or during high-effort parking maneuvers.
Poor returnability and sticky steering is used to describe the poor return of the steering wheel to center after a
turn or steering correction is completed.
Wander
Wander is the tendency of the vehicle to require frequent, random left and right steering wheel corrections to
maintain a straight path down a level road.
ConditionPossible SourcesAction
Blockage in the power steering fluid reservoir caused by power steering fluid contamination
NOTE: Some noise during an extremely cold start (-12.2C [-10F]) is normal and should improve as
the steering system warms up (usually within 60 seconds).
NOTE: It may be necessary to remove the power steering fluid reservoir to flush contamination
trapped in the reservoir screen.
CHECK the power steering fluid reservoir for contamination. FLUSH theer steering system as
necessary. REFER to Power Steering System Flushing in this section.
CHECK for leaks in the system. REFER to Power Steering Leak Test Component Test in this section.
PURGE the air from the system. REFER to Power Steering System Purging in this section.
Steering grunt or shudder - occurs when turning into or out of a turn at low speeds (temperature
sensitive)
CHECK for leaks in the system. REFER to Power Steering Leak Test Component Test. PURGE the
air from the system. REFER to Power Steering System Purging in this section.
NOTE: Some amount of clonk noise is considered acceptable. If in doubt of the acceptability,
compare to another vehicle.
CHECK for leaks in the system. REFER to Power Steering Leak Test Component Test in this section.
PURGE the air from the system. REFER to Power Steering System Purging in this section.
Power steering pump moan - loud humming noise occurs when the steering wheel is rotated to the
stop position. Produces a 120-600 Hz frequency that changes with rpm
Low fluid and/or air in the steering hydraulic system (aerated fluid)
CHECK for leaks in the system. REFER to Power Steering Fluid Leak Test Component Test. PURGE
the air from the system. REFER to Power Steering System Purging in this section. If a pump moan
still exists, INSTALL a new power steering pump. REFER to Section 211-02 .
NOTE: It may be necessary to remove the power steering fluid reservoir to flush contamination
trapped in the reservoir screen.
CHECK the power steering fluid reservoir for contamination. FLUSH the power steering system as
necessary. REFER to Power Steering System Flushing in this section.

NOTE: VERIFY that the steering gear is the source of the noise. It may be necessary to replicate the
customer operating conditions (fluid temperature, turning rate of steering wheel) to get the squeak to
reoccur.
MAKE SURE that the stone shield is correctly installed and that it is not making contact with the
steering shaft. REPOSITION stone shield or INSTALL a new stone shield as necessary.
